These massive sand mountains are part of a family-owned park. You can climb to the top of this incredible 350’ sand tower and enjoy stunning views of Lake Erie below.
You can spend a day here or even stay for the weekend. You may also explore Norfolk County or plan a Lake Erie road trip with Sand Hill Park as your base.
For those who want to explore the park, you can talk a walk along their nature trails, or you can get a ride to and from the beach on their beach shuttles. The shuttle service is only available on Saturdays and Sundays.
After taking a refreshing swim in the lake or walking around the beach you can explore other exciting activities. Play a game at their volleyball and basketball courts or ride around their BMX track. You can also play shuffleboard or horseshoe. Kids can play at the playground or make crafts at the craft and activity bar.
Snacks are available at the snack bar, and you can enjoy your food at the picnic shell. Enjoy live performances and movie nights at the band shell.
Bird watchers would love spotting bank swallows. These birds that nest on the sandy cliffs are especially easy to watch during nesting season.
