Point Pelee National Park is located at the southernmost tip of Canada, on a peninsula jutting into Lake Erie. One would be forgiven for thinking they were at the ocean when on its shores, with the call of seagulls and crashing waves against sand beaches.
Despite being one of the smallest national parks, Pelee is the most biodiverse. It's a favourite stopover of migratory birds before or after the marathon of flying over Lake Erie. Every spring, the Festival of Birds attracts thousands of birders seeking to catch sight of the hundreds of species on their northbound journey.
