Big Creek Paddle Adventure

One of our favourite things about Big Creek is seeing our native turtle species in their natural habitat. Join us at Long Point Eco-Adventures & Marshview Patio for a fantastic evening of Ontario turtles! All proceeds of the event go to the Long Point Region native turtle hatchery. We hope to see you there!

Attend the Turtle Talk on May 20 from 7-9PM and support a great cause! Only $14.95 a ticket with all proceeds going to the Long Point Biosphere Region's Hatchery program. 🐢 Tickets online at LPFUN.CA/EVENTS

Learn from Dan Scallen and dive deep into the natural history of Ontario's native turtle species. From discussing turtle habits, behaviour, to conservation efforts and more, reserve your spot today—every ticket sold makes a difference. 💚

Enjoy fundraising and food with a view! Show us your Turtle Talk ticket at Marshview Patio & get 10% off your dinner on May 20, 2026.

Note: No turtles on-site at this event. Come back and join us in the fall for a turtle hatching experience!

It's that time of year! Our shelled friends are busy selecting the perfect nesting site. Turtles often choose their nesting locations based on a few criteria, such as adequate sunlight, proximity to water, moisture and drainage, not to mention worrying about nest predation and ease of excavation. This sometimes means digging out a few test locations to find the right spot and set up the next generation for success!

At Long Point Eco-Adventures, we are part of a turtle watch program in collaboration with the Long Point Biosphere Wildlife Road Watch, Scott Gillingwater from the London Watershed Conservation Centre and Eco-Kare International.

This program includes a set of incubators in our new lobby to safely incubate thousands of turtles. By incubating these tiny shelled wonders, we are effectively protecting them from nest predation and road mortality, some of the biggest threats these animals face!

Don't forget to keep a watchful eye on our roads for nesting and hatchling turtles and come join us on a Big Creek Paddle to learn about and spot some of these incredible animals!
