Point Pelee National Park is the very very very tip of Canada’s mainland which juts out into Lake Erie (in different shapes and sizes, depending on waves and wind). It’s a great place for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, cycling, hiking, birding, butterfly-ing, playing in the sand, etc, etc, etc. It’s about one hour’s south drive from Windsor and the nearest town is Leamington, Ontario.

Hope you enjoyed today’s trip to Point Pelee National Park. Pack a picnic and some sunscreen, head out and take some more great shots. Watch for another Point Pelee post in the future. There are so many great pictures of the park I’ve saved the creature pics for another day.
