While natural hazards are present while hiking in Point Pelee National Park, the risk of injury can be minimized by taking reasonable precautions. Please visit Adventure Smart for details on trip planning and hiking safety.

Bicycles are restricted to the Centennial Bike and Hike Trail and the park road/parking lots. For your safety, stay on trails to help avoid ticks and poison ivy. Please visit Adventure Smart for details on trip planning and biking safety.

There are no lifeguards on duty at any of the Park's beaches. Never swim alone and always treat Lake Erie with caution. The lake can become rough very rapidly. The Tip area located at the extreme south end of the Park is a popular destination for visitors. There is NO swimming or wading in this area. Please obey the signs posted. Currents exist in this area that pose a hazard and are extremely dangerous. Please visit Adventure Smart for additional details on trip planning and water safety.

Wear your lifejacket at all times: Boats are required to have one lifejacket per person, 15m ((40 ft) of buoyant heaving line, spare paddles or oars, an anchor on 15m (40 ft) of line, a bailer and a whistle. If you capsize: Remain with your overturned boat and move shoreward. Sound three long blasts to attract attention if you need assistance. Please visit Adventure Smart for additional details on trip planning and water safety.

Stay on trails to avoid contact with ticks. The black-legged tick has become firmly established at Point Pelee. This creature, which has spread to areas throughout North America, can carry a bacterium, which causes the Lyme disease. Lyme disease is a serious illness; however, it's easy to prevent and treat when caught early.

For more information on Lyme disease, blacklegged ticks, and how to protect yourself from tick bites while enjoying the outdoors, please visit the following websites:

The feeding of any animal (e.g. deer, raccoons, birds, squirrels and fish) is strictly prohibited. Avoid the danger of being bitten and minimize your affect on the park's ecological balance.

Things to do in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut or northern Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador. Plan ahead, make sure your reservations are in place, and verify what services might be available before you go.
