Pinery Provincial Park, Ontario

Untitled

You must book a campsite Well In Advance if you want to stay here. People who book late often get booked into one site for one night, then have to pick up everything and move to another site for the next night, etc.

If you’re making a reservation ask for a shaded site. The sun is intense here and the humidity adds. That said, this is one of (if not the) best provincial park in SW Ontario.

Point Pelee, Ontario

swimming and stuff

The best swimming is at North West beach. The beach is sandy and so is the lake bottom. Also great for picnics and there are some outdoor grills scattered throughout the park for barbecuing.

Another cool thing to do is to rent a canoe and paddle through the marsh. There are some nice winding turns full of water lilies, turtles, and red-winged black birds and then it’s a straight paddle across the open pond. An hour’s leisurely paddle will take you to the other side where you can beach the canoe and see (and swim in) Lake Erie again. The marsh has a boardwalk and tower/lookout for looking out over the rushes and water.

There’s a train (a van with some covered trailers with seats) that will drive you out to the tip where you can get out and walk down the beach to Canada’s most southern tip of mainland. The waves change the shape of the point on a regular basis. Undertows make this area not safe for swimming but there’s plenty of swimming in other parts of the park.

power

there’s something powerful and magical about trees this old and big. I’m hoping to get here around the end of July 2006.
