Introduction
Point Pelee Marsh Boardwalk.
© Parks Canada
A small green oasis known as Point Pelee National Park is located just south of the 42nd parallel, giving it the same latitude as northern California! Located just one hour from the Windsor/Detroit border, Point Pelee National Park is the most southern point of mainland Canada.
Marvel at the phenomenal spring and autumn migrations of songbirds that blanket Point Pelee's forests in vibrant colours and bring them alive with song. Be sure to catch the delicate monarch butterflies as they migrate through the Park on their voyage to Mexico. These migrations have made Point Pelee National Park world-famous, setting it apart from all other Canadian National Parks. Give your group this opportunity to experience nature in its finest form of beauty.
Your trip is never complete without a stop at Point Pelee's mysterious marsh. Our famous Boardwalk Trail loops out into a sea of cattails. An observation tower offers a bird's-eye view of the marsh. Keep your eyes open for frogs, turtles, muskrats and dragonflies.
Your group's experience at Point Pelee National Park will leave everyone feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Create wonderful memories to last a lifetime!
