Dalewood Conservation Area

10518 Dalewood Road  •  St. Thomas, ON  •  N5P 3T3
​🌿 Experience a unique Southern Ontario wetland adventure!

Welcome to the deep south — well, Southwestern Ontario style! At Dalewood Conservation Area, explore over 25 hectares of provincially significant wetlands that evoke the lush ecosystems of the Carolinas, right here in St. Thomas.

Whether you're a casual day-tripper, avid hiker, paddler, or camper, Dalewood offers something for everyone. The 12-kilometre looped trail around the Dalewood Reservoir is perfect for a peaceful walk or energizing hike. Keep your eyes peeled for great blue herons, beavers, turtles, and songbirds that call this vibrant habitat home.

Love being on the water? The calm reservoir is ideal for canoeing and kayaking — just bring your own watercraft as rentals are not available on-site.

Planning to stay overnight? The campground features 200 serviced and unserviced sites, including pull-through options for larger RVs. Enjoy access to a seasonal swimming pool, nearby shopping, and an 18-hole disc golf course within walking distance — making Dalewood a perfect base for weekend escapes or extended summer stays.
