Ashbridges Bay boat launch parking

[John Bacon]

Does anyone here regularily use the Ashbridges Bay boat launch? Is there usually parking available on the weekends?

 

I am considering launching out of there tomorrow. I don't want to drive all the way down there and find out that there is no where to park.

 

Also, do you know what is costs to park there? I have only ever used it in April when the parking is free.

Plenty of available parking down there. Better get there early to guarantee a spot.

Cost $7 for the vehicle and $7 for the trailer

Others may know for sure but I was of the understanding that one had to have an Inner Harbour license to operate a boat, from Humber Bay to Bluffers Park. That's a lot of water so not sure hope often they spot check. Thought about getting the license but never got around to it.

 

and it's a big lot but bring your nose plugs, last time I was there, the place reeked of who knows what died upstream

It doesn't go as far as Bluffers. The eastern boundry is around Victoria Park or the Harris water treatment plant. A harbour license is required for the Ashbridges Bay launch. I have one, so that is not a problem.

 

It sounds like parking may be an issue on weekends.

 

Thanks for the responses. I have new plans for tomorrow; but may try out there later this year.
