Located just north of the pretty, historic city of St Thomas, Dalewood Conservation Area is a campground for travelling campers and also for those who wish to park for the season.
There are excellent trails around the lake which are enjoyed year-round by those who enjoy Hiking and it is also a great place for watching many of the pretty area birds.
Fishing is allowed on the lake, either from the shore or from your canoe - but don't forget to purchase your Fishing Permit!
We know that we could travel a long way and wouldn't find anywhere nicer than Dalewood!
Located within easy reach of grocery stores and restaurants, the Conservation Area is fairly quiet, and it is great for young families.
