Wheatley, Fishing community in Chatham-Kent, Canada.

Wheatley stands as a commercial fishing port on Lake Erie, housing multiple family-operated fisheries and providing access to fresh water catches.

The settlement began when Richard Wheatley arrived from England in 1832, leading to the establishment of a post office and town renaming in 1865.

The Fish Festival during civic holiday weekend brings together residents and visitors for fishing competitions, community dinners, and musical performances.

The harbor functions as a central point for sport fishing charters, commercial fishing operations, and recreational boating activities throughout the seasons.

Wheatley Provincial Park contains populations of Blue Racer snakes, which exist only in this location, Point Pelee National Park, and Pelee Island.
