Layers of Natural History: A Picton Nature Ewalk - Discover Prince Edward County’s natural history and your part in it!

The tour starts in Queen Elizabeth Park where you’ll see panoramic views of Picton Bay from the limestone cliff that forms the town’s geological backbone. You’ll learn how a massive fault line created the perfect valley for the bay, and how the water you see below becomes the town’s drinking water. You’ll make your way past Shire Hall (the town hall) and down Bridge Street to the heart of old Picton, where two villages merged into a town at Marsh Creek.

You’ll venture around Picton Harbour, where marshlands once teemed with wildlife before this was developed into a historically bustling port. As you follow Marsh Creek upstream, you’ll find out how this resilient waterway persists despite centuries of human alterations. You’ll continue through Marsh Creek Park and Delhi Park before ending the tour at the serene and historical Glenwood Cemetery.
