One hundred years ago, this recreation park was the site of a Victorian resort called Point Farm Hotel. Today, the site is a recreation park combining a colourful past with a pleasant, rural environment.

The park is perched atop the steep bluffs of the shoreline, and offers a panoramic view of Lake Huron, 25 metres below. Steep-sided gullies created by the water's erosive powers further divide the park into distinct geological areas.
The gentle sand-and-pebble beach is perfect for swimming, with water that is shallow and warm. Open fields broken by hedgerows and orchards, are evidence of the former farms that operated during and after the hotel's demise. There is also a wooded area in the northwest part of the park. The countryside supports many birds and small mammals, including cotton tail rabbits.
