Point Pelee National Park

Located at the southernmost point of mainland Canada, Point Pelee is the only National Park in Carolinian Canada and attracts approximately 300 000 visitors a year.  The Park’s southern location and the “lake effect” contribute to a warmer climate, allowing the Point Pelee National Park to host plants and animals found nowhere else in Canada!

Point Pelee National Park is the largest natural area within Essex County.  The Park’s 20 square-kilometre landscape contains a patchwork of marsh, forest, fields, and beaches. The complexity of life the Park contains is unequalled, even in Canada’s larger National Parks.
