RONDEAU PROVINCIAL PARK

This enormous sandy cuspid cordon of sand is dotted with delicate dunes with rustic grasses and marshes where herons, bitterns and rails make their nests. American beech, sassafras, sugar maple, oval hickory and tulip trees thrive in one of the country's largest Carolinian forests. Meadow grasses grow in the meadows at the foot of the huge oaks and pines of the protected savannah. Rare animal species such as the endangered prothonotary warbler and the soft-shelled turtle live here.
