Why go
The peninsula sits on a bird and butterfly migration corridor over Lake Erie, with spring bird passage drawing particular attention. Its southern tip is the southernmost point of mainland Canada, though the sand point changes with lake conditions. Marsh, woodland and open water offer different habitats to compare in one visit.
What to look for
- A tapering sand point reaches into Lake Erie.
- Marsh and woodland occupy different parts of the peninsula.
- Migrating birds pass through, especially in spring.
Useful to know
- For migration watching, allow unhurried time in both woodland and marsh habitat.
- Treat the tip as a changing shoreline and follow current safety and access guidance.
