Rondeau Provincial Park, Provincial park in Chatham-Kent, Canada.
The park contains an 8-kilometer sand spit extending into Lake Erie, with extensive Carolinian forests, sandy beaches, and coastal wetland ecosystems.
Established in 1894 through an order in council, Rondeau Provincial Park stands as the second oldest provincial park in Ontario's protected areas system.
The name originates from French words 'ronde eau' meaning round water, reflecting the shape of the harbor protected by the peninsula.
Visitors can access 11 kilometers of beaches, multiple hiking trails, and camping facilities from April through November, with the park open year-round.
The park maintains 278 private cottages on public land, representing one of only two provincial parks in Ontario with this arrangement.
