South Point Trail follows an old roadway around the tip of the Rondeau peninsula. You will travel through an extensive Oak Savannah, along the Lake Erie Shoreline, and the through the heart of Rondeau's Carolinian Forest.
This trail is suitable for hiking or cycling. Jutting from the shores of Lake Erie, this enormous crescent-shaped sandspit features delicate dunes stubbled with hardy grasses; and marshlands where herons, bitterns and rails nest.
Beech, sassafras, sugar maple, shagbark hickory and tulip trees thrive in one of Canada’s largest Carolinian forests. Sunlit meadows of prairie grasses grow here among towering oaks and pines in a protected oak savanna. Rare animal species, including the endangered prothonotary warbler and the eastern spiny softshell turtle, call Rondeau home.
