This week I'm taking you to the Southern most tip of Canada - Point Pelee. We visited point Pelee during our trip to Canada. We stayed with my Uncle there, this was the first trip that we took during our visit.
Point Pelee National Park is a national park located in
Essex County in southwestern Ontario, Canada where it extends into Lake Erie.
It consists of a peninsula of land, mainly of marsh and woodland habitats, that
tapers to a sharp point as it extends into Lake Erie.
Point Pelee is the
southernmost point of mainland Canada, and is located on a foundation of
glacial sand, silt and gravel that bites into Lake Erie. This spit of land is
slightly more than seven kilometres long by 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) wide at its
northern base. The park was established in 1918, Point Pelee is the lowest point in Canada.
