Parc provincial John E. Pearce
Located on the north shore of Lake Erie in Elgin County, John E. Pearce Provincial Park is an ideal destination for history and nature buffs. Open from June to October, it offers activities such as picnicking, bird watching, hiking and snowshoeing (snowshoes are available for rent at the Backus-Page Museum).
There is a trail leading through a century-old forest. Visitors can identify trees during a guided walk and view Lake Erie from a clifftop lookout. Guided tours of the Historic House and Agricultural Museum are available daily.
Admission is free and the site has picnic tables and toilets. Dogs on a leash are welcome.
