点评:Glad I came down here and visited this park but you won’t need more than a day or two to see everything. Located in a less visited part of Canada. About an hour drive from the Detroit/Windsor border and 3.5-4 hours from Toronto.
If not here during bird or butterfly migration season, found there are two main things to do. One, rent a kayak or walk the boardwalk in the marsh area and, two, take the shuttle tram to Canada’s Southernmost point.
The kayak rental is located in the marsh boardwalk parking lot and opens at 10 daily. Can rent a double kayak for $35 for the first hour and $15 for each additional hour or a single kayak for $25/$15. Beautiful kayaking through the marsh, which opens up into a large lake. Can paddle to the east side of the Peninsula, where there is a beach. Took us about two hours to kayak out to the beach and come back.
The tram to the point leaves from the visitors center at the end of the park road and runs about every fifteen minutes beginning at 10 AM. Short ten minute walk to the point. It is only 4600 KM from here to Canada’s Northernmost point!
The southernmost point is a spit of sandy land surrounded by Lake Erie. At this point you are about as far South as some of the southern suburbs of Detroit and across the lake, due South, is Sandusky, Ohio.
We also went to the swimming beaches but found the sand full of rocks and pebbles and not very comfortable to walk on. Even with water shoes, the pebbles got into our shoes. There are definitely better Great Lakes beaches than these.
Water was a nice temperature at the beginning of July. Best beach facilities were at the Northwest beach, which were newer and included changing rooms and outdoor showers.
翻译:很高兴来到这里参观这个公园,但你不需要超过一两天就能看完所有景点。它位于加拿大游客较少的地区。距离底特律和温莎边境约一小时车程,距离多伦多约3.5-4小时车程。
如果不是在鸟类或蝴蝶迁徙季节来到这里,这里有两件主要的事情可以做。一是租一艘皮划艇或在沼泽地的木板路上散步;二是乘坐往返电车前往加拿大的最南端。
皮划艇租赁处位于沼泽地木板路停车场,每天上午10点开放。双人皮划艇租赁价格为第一个小时35美元,之后每小时15美元,单人皮划艇租赁价格为25美元/15美元。划皮划艇穿过沼泽地,景色优美,沼泽地通向一个大湖。可以划到半岛东侧,那里有一个海滩。我们划皮划艇往返海滩大约花了两个小时。
前往该点的电车从公园道路尽头的游客中心出发,大约每15分钟一班,从上午10点开始。步行10分钟即可到达。从这里到加拿大最北端只有4600公里!
最南端是一片被伊利湖环绕的沙洲。到达这里,你大概已经到达底特律南部郊区最南端了,穿过伊利湖,正南方向就是俄亥俄州的桑达斯基。
我们也去了游泳海滩,但发现沙滩上满是岩石和鹅卵石,走在上面很不舒服。即使穿着水鞋,鹅卵石也会扎进鞋子里。五大湖地区肯定有比这里更好的海滩。
七月初的水温很适宜。最好的海滩设施在西北海滩,那里比较新,有更衣室和室外淋浴。
