Presqu'ile Provincial Park
Presqu'ile Provincial Park, Provincial park and nature reserve on Lake Ontario, Canada
The park extends over 982 hectares of natural environment with sandy beaches, marsh areas, and forested regions along the northern shore of Lake Ontario.
Established in 1922, the area was initially planned as Newcastle town in 1797 until a shipwreck in 1804 changed the county seat location to Amherst.
The park maintains two educational centers offering interpretive programs about local wildlife, with emphasis on the 338 bird species recorded in the area.
The park provides 397 campsites across different environmental settings, with camping season running from late April through October each year.
A one-kilometer boardwalk leads visitors through the largest protected marsh system on the northern side of Lake Ontario.
