WHEATLEY – Rising water levels and shoreline erosion are continuing to leave a negative impact just beyond Wheatley’s boundaries. Although Wheatley Provincial Park closed its doors to public motor vehicle traffic as per usual for the season in mid October, the facility was also forced to make unscheduled closures for some of its amenities and features. The local Ontario Parks site’s website posted a message on its website stating “due to high lake level and ongoing erosion, there is no beach and no swimming area. Access to the day use area is restricted to foot or bicycle.” Last week, Chatham-Kent Ward 1 councillor Melissa Harrigan posted photos acquired from a local resident of crumbling shoreline roadways at the park — the situation triggering the restriction of specific areas to motor vehicle use. While she noted that the impact of high water levels at Wheatley Provincial is a matter that cannot be directly addressed by the municipality, Harrigan described the situation as proof that shoreline erosion is an issue that must be addressed beyond the park’s boundaries.
