Selkirk Provincial Park is a 72.64 hectare recreational park established in 1967. Ontario Parks places it at Selkirk and describes a quiet campground with grassed campsites about 15 minutes east of Port Dover.
The official page highlights Wheeler's Walk Trail, including a boardwalk across marsh wetland, and a large day-use picnic area. That gives the park a simple, family-friendly identity on Ontario's Lake Erie side.
Selkirk is a good fit for travellers who want a calmer camping base instead of a large destination park. The grassed campsites, picnic area, and compact scale are the main planning clues.
Wheeler's Walk Trail gives the park its natural focus. A boardwalk across marsh wetland makes it easier to turn a camping or picnic stop into a short nature outing, especially for families or visitors who want a low-key walk.
The Port Dover proximity matters for itinerary planning. Visitors can build a weekend around campground time, marsh boardwalk views, picnics, and nearby lakeside communities without treating the park as a high-mileage hiking destination.
It is also a useful low-key base for a quieter Lake Erie weekend.
Plan around car camping, picnicking, Wheeler's Walk Trail, marsh wetland viewing, boardwalk photography, family downtime, birding, short walks, and nearby Port Dover day trips.
Because the park is compact, campsite choice, operating dates, and day-use availability will matter more than complex route planning.
Confirm reservations, campground dates, day-use rules, trail conditions, facility hours, picnic availability, weather, alerts, local road access, and park rules through Ontario Parks before travelling.
