Crown Land Near Windsor
Windsor is Canada's southernmost city, and Essex County is farm country where crown land barely exists — what Windsor has instead is world-class border-water fishing. Ojibway Prairie Provincial Park, a rare tallgrass prairie just 7 km from downtown, is the closest public land, but it is a day-use nature reserve; the first provincial park with camping is Wheatley, 55 km down the Lake Erie shore. The Detroit River and Lake St. Clair (Crystal Bay is about 22 km out) are famous walleye, bass and muskie water, and free dispersed crown-land camping is honestly a three-to-four-hour drive north past the Canadian Shield line. This page rounds up the closest public land, fishing spots, campgrounds and road trips around Windsor.
