A wonderful fall adventure!
Sep. 2022
We drove around the island, stopping at Fish Point and the Light House. We didn't have enough time to do the walking trails, but will next time. We went to the Art Store (don't bother). We had lunch at Stonehouse and wouldn't do that again:( We ended up at the Pelee Island Winery Pavilion and it was wonderful. Next time we plan to have their Charcutier in the garden and allow enough time to enjoy everything. We'd take the 10am ferry from Kingsville and the 6pm ferry back. We'd also take a picnic for on the beach in between the walking trails and end up at the Winery.

Cool Stop

Awesome place! Nice place to hike and see some wildlife. Saw a Pelican on my last hike! You can walk to the Southernmost point of Canada here, and walk along the beach too! Apparently you can even see Gray Foxes here! Definitely worth a quick hike!

Great view
Jun. 2022 • Family
A bit of a walk, but worth the view. Part way down the path, it splits into 2 paths. The path to the right with the orangish-red flags is the easiest of the 2 paths. The path to the left is overgrown with weeds and bushes. The path to the right takes you out to the beach. Walk along the beach for 10-15 minutes and you will reach the end point of Pelee Island. A beautiful view.

Trek to the Southern Most Spot in Canada
May 2022
Walked through the reserve early in the morning. Lots of birds. The signage isn't great and the route we took to get to the point was certainly not handicap-accessible. Walking back up the beach was much easier.

A must see if coming to the island
Sep. 2020
If you're going to go to the trouble of going to Pelee Island and you're Canadian you might as well go here just to say you've been to the Southernmost most inhabited place in Canada. It's a nice leisurely bike ride (rentals available at Comfortech Bike Rentals near where the ship docks from 12 to 2pm) to the wooded entrance and then about a 1.5 km hike through the Nature Reserve and then some beach to get to the southernmost point. There's different things to see in the woods. As for the Southernmost point, ignore some of the complaints of people writing before me. It all depends when you go. I went on a warm (23 C, 73F) mid September day. I wasn't bothered by flies or bugs (I didn't even need spray and suffered no bites) and the water wasn't so high that you couldn't walk to the tip of the island. There was probably over 100 Seagulls just sitting down and hanging out at the point. People are so dumb - they act as if the conditions when they went are what it's like all the time. So just go if you're visiting the island.

Be prepared for biting flys but worth the walk
Aug. 2020
The bugs make it a quick visit but nice to take pictures at southern most point of Canada. Be prepared with long sleeves and pants with lots of bug spray. The views are beautiful but make sure to turn off cellular if your phone picks up US networks. My wife got message from Government of Canada to self quarantine when we returned to Canada even though we never left. She uses Virgin network. My Rogers network didn’t pickup US so I guess I’m fine when we return to mainland.

Would not go again ... I understand it’s natural but maybe investing in some clean up of the island in general would be beneficial for tourism for goodness sake ....

Beautiful view of Canadian & American Islands
Sep. 2019
It's a short walk through the woods to this view of Lake Erie. Here you can see Middle Island, the largest island to the left. It is the furthest point south in Canada and this island is solely a bird sanctuary. Behind it to the right is Kelly Island, belonging to the U.S.A. Continuing right are three American islands called North Bass, Middle Bass and South Bass. Early vineyards were planted on some of these islands. To the far right is a very tiny island, called Hen Island that belongs to Canada. This is the historic location of the Battle of Pelee Island on February 26, 1838 when over 300 Americans came across a captured the island. Col. John Maitland sent five infantry troops, militia and indigenous people joined as well. On March 3rd the Americans were intercepted, a battle ensued on the ice and six British (Canadians) died and eleven Americans. All the details are on an historic sign marker by the school and in the Heritage building across from the dock.
