Presqu’ile Park is considered one of the best birding locations in Ontario since it is a major stopover for migrating birds and takes place year round.
Camping, hiking and cycling are also very popular. The terrain is flat, the peninsula’s pave drive loop is cleared in the winter and the off-road trails are regularly maintained.
There is 2.5 km of sandy beach for swimming – no life guards and no dogs allowed.
