The Round Island Point Nature Preserve is a large tract of wild land within easy reach. The extensive woods and wetlands support deer, bear, porcupine, pileated woodpeckers, bald eagles and many species of songbirds.
A 1.6 mile loop trail provides access to the preserve, winding through balsam furwoods, red pine plantation, maple and birch uplands and alongside extensive beaver meadows. The trail also runs along the top of a steep bluff, offering spectacular views of the St. Mary's River Valley and the hills of Canada. A viewing deck, boardwalks, stairways and a floating bog crossing enable visitors to enjoy the trail without damaging sensitive wetlands and slopes.
The preserve does not have developed facilities such as restrooms, water, playgrounds or picnic areas.
