Subject: Route to Point Pelee

Coming from Michigan or Ohio, proceed to the Ambassador Bridge
in Detroit. The SE terminus of I-96 is at the Bridge. I-75 has
an exit close to the Bridge, and I-94 has an exit to southbound
I-96. Cross the bridge, pass through Canadian Customs and Immigration,
and proceed on the main route, headed SSE (Huron Church Rd.), also
labelled Route 3. The latter will turn SE (left) and become Talbot
Rd., still labelled Rte 3. Stay on Rte 3 for half an hour, going all
the way to Leamington. Rte 3 enters Leamington from the W. In the
center of town, turn right (S) on Rte 77 for several blocks, then
left (E) on Rte 20. Watch on your right for the sign indicating
a diagonal right turn SE to Point Pelee National Park. Follow this
road to the park entrance. On paying the entry fee at the admission
booth, you will get a Park booklet that among other things indicated
points of interest. The park headquarters is about 5-10 minutes
drive ahead, just S of the main parking lot. Tilden Woods, one
major birding area, is reached by footpath just behind the Nature 
Centre. The people on duty there will indicate other birding
areas as well.
