According to the Ontario Parks Website for Rock Point
Judging by exposed fossils embedded in limestone shelves along the beach, this peninsula was a coral reef 350 million years ago. A platform above the sand dunes offers the best view of Lake Erie, migrating birds and monarch butterflies. Now the Carolinian forests here are home to opossum, Canada's only marsupial.
With the park you can also find the Southern Terminus for the Grand Valley Trail which winds its way through the Grand River Watershed.
The park is open early May to early October, currently May 08, 2009 to Oct 12, 2009 and does offer post-season hunting.
