About Rondeau Park

Nestled deep within the heart of Carolinian Canada lies Ontario’s second oldest Provincial Park. Formed in 1894, Rondeau Provincial Park remains one of the crown jewels of the Ontario Parks system. Rondeau’s Carolinian forests are home to such southern species as Tulip-tree, Sassafras, Virginia Oppossum, Yellow-breasted Chat and the endangered Prothonotary Warbler. Rondeau is unique in the amount of this rare habitat that it protects – no other provincial park in Ontario holds as much.

Formed by the erosion and deposition of sand and gravel, the Rondeau peninsula constitutes one of North America’s best examples of a Cuspate Sandspit. The resulting peninsula extends almost 8 km out into? Lake Erie, and forms a protected bay.
