Pinery Provincial Park

Pinery Provincial Park's oak savanna is the largest in Ontario and one of the largest in North America. This savanna contains many unique species such as dwarf chinquapin oak, wild lupine, Olympia marblewing (butterfly) and eastern hognose snake. Nearly 800 species of plants and 300 species of birds have been recorded.

To restore and maintain the native habitats in the park, several management projects have been undertaken including the removal of planted pine trees and the reduction of the white-tailed deer population. The park's extensive sandy beach and numerous hiking trails are additional attractions. For information on hikes and interpretation programs, drop by the Visitor Centre or check out their website at www.ontarioparks.com/english/pine.html

Directions: Located 5 km southwest of Grand Bend on Hwy 21. Follow the signs.
