More Information & Itinerary
Long Point is a 40-kilometre sand spit stretching into Lake Erie, which creates a geographic funnel ideal for experiencing bird migration. In addition to the north shore of Lake Erie concentrating migrants travelling to or from their breeding territories, Long Point also boasts an incredible array of different habitats.
