Point Pelee National Park is a beautiful gem! The park offers stunning landscapes, from the wetlands to the forest trails, and the views at the point are incredible. I especially loved the birdwatching opportunities, as the park is a prime spot for migratory birds. The trails are well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and informative. The visitor center is a nice touch, with helpful exhibits and a small gift shop. Overall, it’s a peaceful and scenic park that’s definitely worth a visit, especially if you love nature and wildlife. Would highly recommend!

This park has something in every season and weather. The tip looks different every time we visit so it gives a new experience each time. We came when it was minus 20, incredibly windy at the tip but forest hike was fine. They were offering hot chocolate at visitor centre. Outside the centre, the fire pit was going with an option to roast marshmallows. Very thoughtful. We saw a bald eagle. The park looked like a winter wonderland.

As the southernmost point of land in Canada and the country’s smallest national park, this place offers truly unique scenery. You can enjoy the views by hiking or cycling. There’s a free shuttle to the southernmost point, but you can also choose to walk there. If you visit during cooler weather, make sure to dress warmly as the winds can be strong. In the summer, you can fully enjoy the sunshine。

Beautiful, easily accessible national park which should not be missed if you are in southern Ontario. We were there in early October 2024, and there were little to no crowds. There is a free shuttle from the visitor center to the point trailhead, and the hike to the point is very manageable, even for someone like me who walks with a cane. The scenery is quite stunning. Overall, a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our fall break.

Amazing experience! We went to the national park on a cold February weekend, and the whole park was like a big ice rink! Despite falling multiple times and having bruises all over our bodies, the experience was so unique! The weather was cold, especially when walking on the tip. The trail was a big piece of ice, and the water was completely frozen. The campsite office staff were super helpful and so nice! How they provided all the information and were so kind in such weather was actually heartwarming! The toilets were spotless despite the mud and snow outside. The oTentiks were super clean as well. We stayed at oTentik number 9, which had a gas-operated heater (God bless the National Park!) and a very good grill. It also had plugs and electricity, which was different from the rest of the oTentiks we stayed in. Overall, such a beautiful experience and stay!
