A canoe is a wonderful place from which to experience the amazing biodiversity of Rondeau Bay and the Rondeau marsh. Join park naturalists for a guided canoe “hike” on the Bay this summer! Canoes are available to rent for $25 for one boat or $40 for two. (You are also welcome to join us with your own canoe, kayak, or paddleboard!) See our Events Calendar for upcoming dates.

Our canoe hikes are always a popular event, and limited spaces are available on each hike, so be sure to book your spot in advance! Call the Visitor Centre at 519-674-1768 to pre-register or for more information.

The workshop contains information on who to contact if you see a nesting turtle, and actions that you can take to make a positive difference for turtles in your communities, cottages, roadways, and wherever else you may see them. You will also have the option to request a Build-Your-Own Nest Protector Kit from Parks Canada. Build-Your-Own Nest Protector Kit quantities are limited and protectors will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis, and you will need to be able to pick the kit up from the Rouge National Urban Park.

To register for the workshop recording, please complete this short registration form. Registration will remain open until June 15th, 2022.

Your observations will be used to develop scientific models that predict the locations of Monarch fly-
ways and where roosts occur throughout Ontario. Knowledge of the migratory routes and roosting
habits of Monarchs will help us direct resources to aid this at-risk species.

For more information, and to participate, please visit the Monarch Migration in Ontario project on iNaturalist.

Thank you for contributing to this critical research project. Your efforts will aid in conservation and
restoration efforts to help migratory Monarchs.

Please note that due to Covid-19 safety protocols, only two patrons are allowed inside the store at one time. The remainder of the Visitor Centre, including the display areas, remains closed at this time. Additional members of your group beyond the current two person capacity for the store will need to wait outside the building (and enjoy the beautiful natural splendour of Rondeau Park) while you shop.
