MacGregor Point Provincial Park is a park located on Lake Huron near Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada.
The varied habitat found within the park includes coastal wetlands, forests and dunes. Although the beaches in the park can be used for swimming, better beaches can be found at Port Elgin or nearby Inverhuron Provincial Park. Recreational activities include hiking, cycling and kayaking.
Yurt camping is available in this park in the Birch Boulevard section of Algonquin Campground along with regular electrical sites.
At the end of May and beginning of June, the Huron Fringe Birding Festival is held in the park.
This provincial park was created in 1975 after nearby Inverhuron Provincial Park was initially closed. The majority of the facilities in the park were developed over the last half of the 1970s including the visitor center which is due for expansion in the near future.
