Point Pelee National Park in Canada Closes for 12 Days From November 12 to 23 for Annual Deer Reduction With Caldwell First Nation, Reopening November 24

Saturday, November 14, 2026 · Travel & Culture · GSM News

Point Pelee National Park in southwestern Ontario, Canada, is closed to all visitors from November 12 through November 23, 2026, and will reopen on November 24, a closure of 12 days.

The shutdown is planned. Parks Canada closes the park each year for an annual deer reduction, carried out together with Caldwell First Nation, with public safety as the top priority during the work. The reduction is planned jointly by Parks Canada and Caldwell First Nation, based on monitoring of the park's ecosystem and its deer population.

The closure covers the whole park, including the trails, the marsh boardwalk and the shuttle to the tip, with no partial access during the period. Point Pelee, a narrow spit of sand, marsh and forest reaching into Lake Erie, is the southernmost point of mainland Canada and one of the country's best-known birding destinations.

Parks Canada posts updates on the park's page, and travelers can call the park office at 519-322-2365 to confirm the reopening before setting out on November 24.
