Regular interpretive programs are offered from May to October. Daily slide talks, guided hikes and children's programs are held in the summer. Guided hikes, conducted bird walks and other nature activities are offered on weekends in the spring and fall.

Waterfowl Viewing weekends in the spring draw thousands of visitors to see thousands of ducks. Volunteer naturalists are on hand each day to operate telescopes, identify the different types of ducks and point out distinguishing field marks.

Warblers and Whimbrels Weekend occurs on the Victoria Day weekend, the traditional peak of spring bird migration. Bird walks, bird banding and evening programs introduce the elusive Whimbrel and the colourful warblers that pass through the park.

History Weekend, held on the Civic holiday weekend, is an opportunity to relive Presqu'ile's storied past. Special events, such as old fashioned games, a musical social evening, a boat-building bee, a boxed lunch social and a history play occur throughout the weekend.

Monarchs and Migrants Weekend, held on Labour Day weekend, offers a chance to see and learn more about migrating Monarch butterflies, songbirds and shore birds. Park naturalists and guest speakers offer slide talks, shorebird viewing, butterfly tagging demonstrations and special hikes.

Curriculum-based children's educational programming is offered by park naturalists in the spring and fall for schools and other groups.
