fish point nature reserve

We visited twice in the fall. The first time we walked the trails to both beaches on a warm, sunny September day. The second time was late November when it was cold and windy and we walked out to the point. Words cannot describe the peaceful tranquility when you are connecting with nature like this. Being surrounded by the silence of the forest and then on one beach the calm water and on the other beach, the crashing waves within such a short distance from each other makes you feel like you can breathe! Coming back from the point in November, it started to rain lightly. When we walked through the forest you could smell the fresh scents of fall and for a stretch, there was a scent that was like black licorice. I still have to find out what that was! I cannot wait to visit here in the spring and summer months to see how the scenery changes with the seasons!

My husband, I and our two young kids spent an hour crossing the woods and a couple of hours on the beach. It was amazingly beautiful and peaceful. The beach is the southest point of the country. There were only us on the beach, due to the low season. A lot of different kind of birds were resting. You can hear nothing but the waves. Suddenly, I felt so small and open minded. Everything in the office and city seems no longer matters. I laid down watching the sky and the clouds. It was breathtaking.

Loved seeing the rare Blue Racer Snake. There are a pair of Bald Eagles on the island and lots of other birds. You can also go on a bird watch at 8am with the woman who counts the birds! Ask Lynn or Ron for details. didn't like the sand flies

Nice walk through a wooded area then it brought us out onto this never ending beach. Was a little windy, but we walked a bit and found some Lucky Stones. Nice park.

Would like more information boards throughout the trail. Maybe something indicating how many kms to the sandy point, some more interesting facts about the area etc. Also, would like some park benches (or similar) as some of our party were very tired once they got out to the clearing (sandy area). This would be a nice rest spot with information too.

I guess September is not the best time to see wildlife here. The sand flies on the other hand were plentiful and annoying. The biting buggers were every where!

the island is fantastic, nature, winery. restaurants german Backery.Historic Buildings Farms Pheasant Farm( not very good) its cruel for the birds

Such an incredible site! And to know you are at the most southern tip of Canada, WOW! (Well, most southern inhabited tip anyway. My daughter still insists on visiting Middle Island one day!)

Fun place to walk to, can be windy but worth it for the view and photo so far south in canada nice path through the forest

Great place to visit, the entire island is a piece of heaven... I just don't like the snakes on it...

We always hike Fish point. The beautiful woodland walk leads you to a perfect beach. The trail is groomed and easy to walk at any level. Several lookout resting points along the route allow you to rest and enjoy marsh views and a view of the lake. Fish Point is a perfect place for families to enjoy together.

Great walk through the woods on a well marked trail with signs along the way describing some of the unique features of this area. Well worth an hour or two plus some nice beaches at the end of the trail.

This area cannot be accessed any way other than walking. It is interesting but I hate bugs! It contains a lot of flora and fauna which would be of great interest to a nature lover as is my daughter.

nice path that leads through the bush and ends at the waters edge.keep eye open for fox and water snakes.

There is a bike rack at the trail head. The trail is nice and has some information about some of the specific species of the area. Keep going - it does seem longer than 1.6 km - till you reach a beach. Look to your left and that is the most southerly point of Canada. You can walk out to the spit amongst the seagulls, geese and terns.
