A Peaceful Oasis by the Lake
Welcome to Point Edward, a charming little village located on the banks of the beautiful Lake Huron in Ontario. As a local, I am proud to say that this is one of the best-kept secrets of Ontario, and a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque escape. From breathtaking views of the lake to scenic hikes and a rich history, there is something for everyone in this quaint village.
Waterfront Park and Marina
One of the highlights of Point Edward is its stunning Waterfront Park and Marina. This well-maintained area is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a picnic with family and friends. You can take in the panoramic views of the lake, watch the boats go by, and even spot some local wildlife. The park also has a splash pad for kids to cool off in on hot summer days. And for the adventurers, the marina offers boat rentals and fishing charters for a day out on the water.
Exquisite Sunsets
As a local, one of my favorite activities is to watch the sunset over Lake Huron. Point Edward offers some of the most spectacular sunsets you will ever witness. You can catch this daily show from many spots around the village, including the waterfront park, the marina, or even from the comfort of your own cabin or cottage. Trust me, there is nothing quite like sitting by the lake, watching the sky turn into a beautiful canvas of colors.
History and Heritage
For the history buffs, Point Edward has a rich past waiting to be explored. The village was once an important hub for trade and transportation, and you can still see the remnants of its industrial past in the historic Bridgeview Station. There are also several heritage buildings and landmarks to visit, such as the Point Edward Lighthouse, which has been guiding sailors since the 1850s.
Outdoor Activities Galore
If you are an outdoor enthusiast, Point Edward has plenty to offer. The village is located at the gateway of the popular Lambton County Heritage Trail, a 36-kilometer trail perfect for cycling, walking, or jogging. You can also hike along the scenic waterfront trail, play a round of golf at the nearby Black River Golf & Country Club, or go birdwatching at the local wetlands. No matter what your interests are, you will find something to do in Point Edward.
Local Flavors and Festivals
To top off your visit, make sure to indulge in some of Point Edward's local flavors. The village has some fantastic restaurants, cafes, and ice cream shops that serve up delicious meals and treats. And if you happen to be in town during the summer, don't miss out on the Point Edward Ex, a popular annual fair with food, games, rides, and live entertainment for all ages.
