Point Pelee National Park By: Edward Su Physical Aspects: Located around 55 km southeast of Windsor, Ontario, Point Pelee National Park is one of Canada’s smallest national parks, yet this tiny green oasis still attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each and every year. The park sits atop a deposit of sand up to 70 meters thick left by glacial meltwaters on a submerged limestone ridge.

This park also has many sand beaches due to it being on the coastline and many large cattail marshes.…
