Point Pelee is an absolutely wonderful park to visit. The boardwalk is truly something special. I recommend kayaking or canoeing in the area as well! They have fantastic sites to rent with semi permanent house tents and patios. Some aspects of the park are closed due to covid, but do not let that hinder your attendance or enjoyment. It's always worth it for even a day trip just to go and love nature.
I've been coming to point Pelee ever since I was a young guy. It's still one of my favorite places to unwind and relax. That is why, I chose the black willow beach here. To ask my fiancee to marry me this past weekend (she said yes). We both love coming here with our children and giving them the memories that we had as kids. The park is dealing well with covid and most patrons seem to be respectful of all. Of course we will be back whenever possible.
Amazing park with an opportunity to be the most southern person on mainland Canada! There are so many things to do and explore in the park including many beautiful hiking/cycling trails, beaches.
There is alot of eco diversity in the area where you can see cacti growing just beside the lake. There is a cactus foot walk area as well, its a small hike which leads you to a patch of cacti. Along the path you may find tiny cacti stuck on your clothes. They are not prickly and removable so not a big deal.
Board walk takes you through the marsh land. You may see frogs, turtles and different kinds of birds here.
Observation tower at the point is a must. We were able to spot hundreds of butterflies and a few eagles in the area.
Our otentik experience was really nice and cozy. Everything was super clean and kitchen utensils were properly cleaned and sanitized. Staff was amazing and friendly!
Food basics walmart etc are very near incase any emergency supply is needed.
Cons: we encountered stable flies on our 2nd day at the beach site. They bite and annoy you. So bug spray is a must. Also may encounter many daddy long legs but they don't do anything so you are good!
Awesome park, we stayed overnight in the cabins. Washrooms were really clean and the staff did a good job in keeping things neat/tidy. Highly recommend bringing your bike and exploring all the trails. Wonderful sights, seemed like a fairytale bike ride!
Canada's smallest national park and furthest most tip of the mainland is clean and well maintained. Prepare to walk a ton (over 5km round trip) to visit the tip but well worth it. Both the boardwalk walk inside of the marsh and the lookout at the tip are a must. Beaches are nice but rocky. All facilities are clean but visitor shops are closed due to covid.
