Parks & Nature

My husband and I love to go to the point on Sunday either to bike the trails, walk for miles along the nature trails or go canoeing. Sometimes we like to just pack our beach stuff and take a lunch, spend the day on the beach.

This is a beautiful park to just walk around, I love to go and sit by the lake and see what the horticulture society has done each year. The Folk Fest is held here every August with lots of great artists.

Sightseeing

Okay, so this is one of my favorite things to do! It is like stepping back into 1950. You can explore the whole island in a day. End your day at the winery. You can take the ferry from the Leamington docs from March to July and the Kingsville docs from August to November. You can choose to either walk on and rent bikes when you get there. Its around $7.00 a person each way. If you choose to bring your car you will need to make a reservation on Ontario Ferries ahead of time. its about $16.00 each way. The boat ride is so peaceful and the last boat ride at night is beautiful with the sunset.

You can ride a bike to this winery. They have a beautiful outdoor patio with an outdoor fireplace a cozy courtyard. They usually have live entertainment on the patio on Sundays. The food is very good, not a huge selection. They also offer beer here as well for those who do not care for wine. They carry Walkerville Brewery. If you are eating inside you will need to make reservations. Its very popular with the locals and travelers.
