Rondeau Provincial Park

Rondeau Provincial Park, located in southwestern Ontario, Canada is the second oldest provincial park having been established with an order in council on 8 September 1894. The recreation center is situated on a 8 km long crescentic sand spit reaching out into Lake Erie. In a 1930 soil overview the vast majority of the spit was mapped as Berrien sand, which is defectively depleted. There are just two sand spits like this one in all of North America, one in Rondeau and one in Florida. Rondeau was built up in 1894 as a reaction to interest for cottaging openings by inhabitants of close-by Chatham. It is the second-most established commonplace stop in Ontario after Algonquin Provincial Park.

Up to this point it was perceived as the biggest traveler goal in the Municipality of Chatham-Kent. Rondeau is likewise home to the biggest territory of Carolinian backwoods in Canada, a long sand shoreline, a vast bog, roughly 50% of Rondeau Bay, campgrounds and a bungalow network. The vast majority of the recreation center is indigenous habitat; the house network takes up under 1% of the recreation center region and is for all intents and purposes undetectable from the air. The name of the recreation center originates from the French words "ronde eau" or "round water" which depicts the state of the harbor protected by the promontory.
