Long point camping trip recap







Friday May 21st, Members from the BPC headed south west to the shores of Lake Erie. Here we would explore the marshes, dunes and beaches of Long Point Provincial Park. The annual spring camping trip has become a bit of a tradition at the club, having done it now for several years on the May 24 weekend.

This year would be no exception to our share of bugs, ticks, and other things that crawl in the night. Most of the group arrived at Long Point on the Friday just before dinner time, giving us enough time to set up camp, and head to the beach to check out the sunset action. The park is situated on a very long peninsula which stretches out into Lake Erie for several kilometers. The point is a unique biosphere with its own unique eco system. Everything that lives there supports life around it.


Over the weekend, we spent time exploring the area, checking out different sections of beach, roaming around some of the local towns such as the nearby Port Rowan. Looking for lighthouses, mills, and other things. We had a great time.
