Fifty Point Marina is the serviced boating base inside Fifty Point Conservation Area on western Lake Ontario. It works for transient moorage and trailered launches, with fuel, pump-out, showers, visitor docks, and a nearby restaurant, but boaters should confirm the current navigation-channel depth before the trip.
Maquabeak Park gives Coquitlam boaters a public Fraser River launch at the end of Burbidge Street, with a wooden dock, washrooms, picnic tables, and metered parking for vehicles and trailers. The launch itself is listed as free, but visitors should arrive ready for paid parking, shared dock traffic, and current DFO rules if fishing from the river.
Portsmouth Olympic Harbour is Kingston's serviced west-end launch for boaters who want a city marina around the ramp. The trip planning is mostly about fees, trailer parking, fuel and pump-out timing, and marina-season hours, with Lake Ontario conditions waiting just outside the protected harbour.
Quai 34 sits beside Parc Saint-Louis in Lachine, with a public dock and ramp on Lac Saint-Louis and posted 6am to 11pm hours. For trailer trips, parking eligibility is the detail to confirm before arriving.
Rocky Point Park gives paddlers a simple Burrard Inlet launch in Port Moody, with a public boat launch for hand-carried kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards plus seasonal rentals beside the ramp. Plan around paid parking, summer crowds, event closures, and tidal-water conditions before setting out toward the Port Moody Arm or Indian Arm.
Vanier Park has two separate public launch setups at the mouth of False Creek: west for trailered small boats and east for hand-launched kayaks and canoes. Short stays, no night mooring, and park parking rules shape the visit.
