Views of the Turkey Point Marsh, bold adventures, and the escape you’ve been craving. Long Point...
July is shaping up to be the month to visit Long Point Eco-Adventures.
From stargazing festivals and baby animal sightings to live music and summer concerts next door at Burning Kiln Winery, there's always something happening every week, and you’re invited to join in on all of it.
Here’s your inside look at what’s going on this July:
1. Catch Us in Port Dover - Canada Day Parade Float (July 1st)

3. Paddle Through Baby Wildlife Season
Our Big Creek Kayak Tour, often called the Canadian Amazon, is in peak baby animal season, and the creek is teeming with new life. It’s not uncommon to spot hatchling turtles sunning themselves on logs, ducklings darting across the water, baby beavers near the shore, and even fawns tucked quietly beneath the canopy.
This 4-hour guided paddle takes you deep into the heart of Ontario’s Carolinian forest, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the country. Glide beneath towering Sycamores and Black Walnuts, wrapped in wild grape and Virginia creeper vines. Keep your eyes peeled, Bald Eagles, Mink, and White-tailed Deer are known to make surprise appearances along the way.
It’s a relaxing yet immersive adventure, perfect for first-time paddlers and seasoned explorers alike. About halfway through, you’ll stop for a peaceful picnic break at the water’s edge, surrounded by the sounds of nature.
Mornings are best for wildlife sightings, so don’t forget your camera, and book your paddle soon. Baby animals don’t stay small for long!

4. Live Music at The Marshview Patio - Monthly Summer Shows
We’re bringing the good vibes to the patio with monthly live music nights at The Marshview. Think: golden hour, local eats, and acoustic sounds echoing over the marsh.
