DIRECTIONS TO PRINCE EDWARD POINT BIRD OBSERVATORY

FROM PICTON ON

The Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory is located in the Prince Edward Point National Wildlife area at the south eastern point of Prince Edward County. To reach Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area, take Main Street from the east end of downtown Picton, down the "Town Hill", and turn immediately right onto Union Street (directly across from Tip of the Bay Motel). Follow Union Street out of Picton (becomes County Road 8) for 2.5 km, and at the junction in the highway, follow County Road 17. Take County Road 17 for 6.5 km and look for the Black River Cheese sign, and turn left onto County Road 6 and follow for 1 km to the Stop sign at County Road 13. Follow County Road 13 past Black River Cheese for 23.6 km to the Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area (County Road 13 eventually becomes Long Point Road). Follow the Long Point Road until you see the Observatory buildings on your right.
