Point Pelee National Park:

Point Pelee, a 10-kilometre sandspit with its southern point equal in latitude to the northern border of California, contains one of Canada's smallest but most unusual national parks. A thin triangle jutting into Lake Erie at the southernmost point of Canada, the 20 square kilometre landscape boasts a unique blend of vegetation in the marshes, jungle-like Carolinian forest, Savannah grasslands and unpredictable beachfront, supporting a complexity of wildlife. The early attraction the peninsula had for the first people to come in search of game, continues in the overwhelming popularity the park has amongst bird watchers and day visitors.

Pelee Island Ferry Terminal/ Marina:

Beautiful landscapes and rare plant and wildlife create a naturalist's paradise on Pelee Island. Explore the 96 hectare wilderness of Lighthose Point Nature Reserve, home to the rare blue racer snake, at the Island's northeastern tip or the dunes, sandspits and lagoons of Fish Point Nature Reserve, home to many rare plants and animals, at the Island's southern tip. Miles of sandy beaches can be explored by foot or bike. For the sportsman, the annual pheasant hunt and world class smallmouth bass fishing can't be beat. Quaint inns and B&B's carefully blend into the spectacular scenery of this quiet island. Uniquely preserved island charm makes Pelee Island a tranquil destination for anyone.

The Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary:

The Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary was one of the first of its kind in North America, and remains in existence today. It is located near Kingsville in Essex County, Ontario, resting on a peninsula between Lake Erie to the south and Lake Saint Clair to the north. It is ten miles away from the well-known birding destination Point Pelee National Park, which Miner helped to designate as a national park in 1918. (The "Atlantic" and "Mississippi" migratory flyways converge in this area.).

Because of his efforts to conserve Geese and Ducks, and provide a place of refuge and safety for migrating water-birds, and his efforts to band and track the migratory paths of waterfowl across North America, we know so much more about these birds today than in earlier generations. It is at its best during the spring and autumn migrations (Mar./Apr. and Oct./Nov.) when huge flocks of Canada geese and wild duck call in on their flight north or south

John R. Park Homestead:

Nestled in a 19-acre conservation area on the north shore of Lake Erie, John R. Park Homestead is a restored 19th century farm home originally built in 1842. Also part of the homestead is a smoke house, ice house, blacksmith shop, sawmill, stable, and an outhouse. Drift back in time as you tour the exhibit. Taste baking from the fireplace and chat with the blacksmith. Visit the heritage garden and orchard, meander along the boardwalk and relax by the lake shore under the shade of a tree. Staff is dressed in period costume for your journey back through time.
