Explore the Old Ausable Channel and rolling sand dunes, rare Oak Savanna and Carolinian forests of one of Southern Ontario’s premiere parks.

Drifting along the Old Ausable Channel in Pinery Park in a canoe or kayak allows your mind to wander back over 100 years to the time of clear rives and thriving ecological communities. The rich array of rare species of birds, flowers, reptiles, amphibians and mammals that live in and around the Old Ausable Channel lead to lasting memories that invite you back to visit time and time again. No Charge for Admission! To register please call 519-455-6252 or visit the website http://www.londonspaddleshop.com/ for additional information.
