The Pelee Island Bird Observatory
Pelee Island is a popular spot with birders, and the Pelee Island Bird Observatory is a great place to spot one of the many species of resident and migratory birds who make their home here. Local volunteers are knowledgeable about loons, herons, hawks, owls, and woodpeckers — just a handful of the more than 300 species you might spot.
Pelee Island Heritage Centre
The Pelee Island Heritage Centre focuses on the island’s history through exhibits exploring the archeological evidence of the island’s Indigenous peoples, a display on the shipwrecks in the Western Basin, and infographics on Pelee Island species that are at risk of extinction.
Pelee Island Waterfront Trail
The Pelee Island Waterfront Trail is a 17-mile path that extends around the shoreline of Lake Erie. It passes along quiet country roads, farmlands, and vineyards along an ecological trail system that connects beaches, forests, dunes and marshes. You can spot rare native plants along the trail, as well as spotted turtles, salamanders, and butterflies.
