Rondeau Provincial Park

Jutting out on the north shore of Lake Erie, Rondeau Provincial Park has a unique range of ecosystems essential to maintaining the vast variety of species within the Park’s parameters. 

A wide range of ecosystems can be found within the Park, including: sandy dunes, marshlands, tall-grass prairie, oak savanna and one of Canada’s largest remnant Carolinian forest.  These ecosystems are vital to the survival of many endangered species and are an area where tourists come to experience nature and wildlife. 

Rondeau Provincial Park houses ecosystems that are vital to the survival of many endangered species such as the Prothonotary Warbler and Acadian Flycatcher. The Prothonotary Warbler traditionally breeds in the Park, and in 2000, 13 pairs represented 65 percent of the known population breeding in Canada.

Rondeau Park is an area where tourists come to experience nature and wildlife. During the fall months visitors come to see the annual migration of the Monarch butterflies, and the migration of many raptures and waterfowl.
