Long Point Provincial Park is part of a 40-kilometre-long sandspit in Lake Erie which is recognized as a biosphere reserve by the United Nations. It is a world-renowned refuge and stopover for migrating birds in fall and spring. Waterfowl viewing is excellent in March. Many different types of turtles, snakes, songbirds, spawning fish, and frogs are a common site during the summer season. The park is one of the first landfalls on the northern shore of Lake Erie and as such is one of the best birding areas in the country during Spring and Fall migration. Over 350 species have been identified on the peninsula.
Long Point Provincial Park has a range of activities to take part in. The park offers basketball, boating, canoe, hunting, wildlife viewing, bird watching, camping, fishing, and swimming. Backpackers and hikers can do some beach hiking or visit the conservation and wildlife areas.
Long Point Provincial park has 256 camp sites, including 78 electrical sites located in Firefly Campground. The beach is easily accessible from all four campgrounds.
