Ducks Unlimited Trail

This multi-use trail borders a wetland which provides ample opportunity to spot wildlife. From the observation tower, watch for Teal, Black Ducks, Mallards, Wood Ducks and of course Canadian Geese. Access is at the western end of the park road. Cyclists are required to walk their bikes on the boardwalk sections. A complex ecosystem unfolds at this all-season park on a seven-kilometre stretch of coast on Lake Huron.

Guided walks by the shore and through silver maple swamps, cattail marshes, ponds, fens and bogs reveal unusual inhabitants. Carnivorous (meat-eating) plants make this their home. Rare dwarf lake iris and the elusive spotted turtle appear in the spring. Migrating birds, including the black-crowned night heron and the American egret, stop here to snack. Winter visitors can camp in yurts and cross-country ski.
