Rock Point Provincial Park, Provincial park on Lake Erie shores, Canada

Rock Point Provincial Park extends across 187 hectares of natural landscapes, including wetlands, forests, and dunes along Lake Erie's northern shoreline.

The establishment of Rock Point Provincial Park in 1957 marked the beginning of its role in preserving geological formations and Devonian period marine fossils.

Archaeological discoveries within the park boundaries reveal evidence of paleo-Indian camps where early inhabitants fished and worked with chert materials.

The park operates from May through October, offering camping facilities, a 2-kilometer hiking trail, and a one-kilometer sandy beach for visitors.

The limestone shelves contain marine animal fossils from 350 million years ago, while Big Shellbark Hickory trees grow in the surrounding forest.
