Directions to Point Pelee National Park: From downtown Leamington,
proceed south on Erie Street to Seacliff Road, and turn left. Go approx.
1 km (passing several factories on your right) to the road after Seneca
Road, and turn right. You will pass a church, a golf course, a big bend,
a motel, and then up over a small bridge, past Pelee Wings Nature Store,
a bunch of cottages, Paulas Fish Place, another bend, and more
cottages. Stay on this winding road to the entrance gate at Point Pelee.
Continue straight (the only way you can go!) past the gate through a
number of bends and turns to a 90 degree left turn marked by a sign that
says Visitor Centre or Visitor Parking Lot. Turn left and park in the
large, paved parking lot. The trailhead to Tilden Woods is at the
northeast corner of the parking lot; the road west and south of the
Visitor Centre leads to a boardwalk and footpath to the tip.
