Over seven kilometres of Lake Huron shoreline provide the backdrop for this natural environment park. MacGregor Point is one of the most overlooked natural wonders along the Lake Huron shoreline. Whether you are out for the day or staying overnight, remote stretches of windswept shoreline, trails, sandy beaches and programs designed to pique your curiosity will make your visit memorable.

The park owes its distinctive character to the glaciers that covered most of southern Ontario 12,000 years ago. As these massive, moving fields of ice shifted and melted they left behind a variety of landforms and a huge lake called Algonquin. Over the years, Lake Algonquin and its receding shorelines evolved into a complex ecosystem of wetlands, beach ridges and sand dunes surrounding what is now Lake Huron. The area between the former shoreline of glacial Lake Algonquin and Lake Huron is known as the Huron Fringe.

The park's woodlands, silver maple swamps, cattail marshes, ponds, fens and bogs support a variety of plants, wildflowers and animals. A stop at Pitcher Plant Marl enables park visitors to see many of the carnivorous (meat-eating) plants that call MacGregor Point home. Visit in the spring and you may get a glimpse of the rare dwarf lake iris or the elusive spotted turtle. There are many opportunities to view such wildlife as deer, beaver, raccoon, fox and porcupine. More than 200 species of birds have been sighted here, including the black-crowned night heron and the American egret which find the wetlands in the park to be ideal feeding grounds.
