Point Pelee National Park is located at the southernmost point of Canada's mainland. Designated as Canada's 9th national park in 1918, Point Pelee protects a portion of Canada's rare Carolinian ecosystem and one of the largest marshland areas on the Great Lakes. Point Pelee itself is a sandspit that was left behind ten thousand years ago when waves eroded a landbridge that once stretched from the North shore of Lake Erie to the state of Ohio in the United States.
While Point Pelee is one of the country's smallest national parks, it has a fashinating blend of forest, marsh, savannah, and beach habitats.
The marsh dominates Point Pelee. Spreading across two thirds of the park, it is a jigsaw arrangement of cattails and ponds. Many typical marsh species as well as several plants and animals, rarely found in Canada, reside here. One such rarity is Canada's only native hibiscus, the swamp rose-mallow. This plant and its large, pink, rose-like blossoms, is limited to only a few marshes bordering Lake Erie.
The remaining third of the park consists of swamp and dryland forest as well as cedar savannah habitat. Typical of the carolinian forest, Point Pelee's forest is home to a large variety of trees including tulip, hackberry, shagbark hickory, sassafras, and sycamore. Long vines hanging from the trees give Pelee a jungle-like appearance, also typical of this southern forest.
The cedar savannah habitat in the park is quite different from the forest as it is dominated by shrubs and grasses rather than large trees. This habitat, like the others, is managed to ensure that habitat remains for such species as the prickly-pear cactus, the eastern mole, and the eastern fox snake.
Surrounding the park is a 22-km necklace of sand and pebble beach. This is an area of constant deposition and erosion, yet some plants, including Canada's largest stand of a citrus known as the hop-tree manage to thrive here.
This mix of habitats, combined with Pelee's extension into Lake Erie, attracts thousands of birds, monarch butterflies, and other animals during their migrations. This national park with so many plants, animals and facilities also attracts nearly 500 000 visitors annually.
