Nature
and Hiking
The
Pinery Provincial Park
Pinery
Provincial Park contains much of the remaining Oak Savanna woodland to
be found in North America. Explore this unique ecosystem, along park
roads, trails, beaches or quiet reaches of the Old Ausable Channel.
Today an Oak Savanna ecosystem rests atop an undulating sand dune
topography that began forming over 6,000 years ago as glaciers
retreated, leaving dunes more than 100 feet high. The panoramic view
from lookouts presents a seemingly endless forest canopy, meeting Lake
Huron's brilliant blue waters on the horizon. Whether you want to
quietly explore the woodlands along a trail, dip a paddle in the Old
Ausable Channel, ride along the bike trail, or slide across crisp snow
on a ski trail, Pinery is a special place year round.
