Presqu'ile Provincial Park

saturday march 30th 2024

Get ready to explore the beauty of Presqu'ile Provincial Park! Located on the north shore of Lake Ontario, Presqu'ile Provincial Park is a nature lover's paradise, offering a range of trails that showcase the park's stunning natural beauty.

Our hike will take us through a variety of terrains, from scenic forests and wetlands to beautiful beaches and stunning lookout points. The park has trails for all skill levels, ranging from easy to moderate, with lengths ranging from 1 to 11 kilometers.

As we hike, we'll have the opportunity to observe the park's diverse flora and fauna. The park is home to over 300 bird species, making it one of the best birdwatching destinations in Ontario. At least 338 species of birds have been spotted within in the park and 130 species are known to nest here.

The highlight of the hike will be the stunning views of Lake Ontario and the park's beautiful beaches. Presqu'ile Provincial Park has over 10 kilometers of sandy beaches, perfect for a relaxing picnic on the sand after the hike.
