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. Read a first-hand account on our blog if you want to know what you're getting into!

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.
