The Port Franks Marina provides 92 seasonal boat slips, a public boat launch and a park with a picnic area. It is one of nine internationally recognized Blue Flag marinas in Canada.
There is currently a wait list for seasonal dockage at the Port Franks Marina, however we are not accepting new applications at this time. The application form will be posted to this website when we are accepting them again.
Seasonal boat launch passes are available from the marina office starting the first week of May each year. Passes will be sold on a first come, first serve basis. The quantity available each year may vary and will be left to the discretion of the Community Services Department.
The marina is staffed from mid-April until mid-October. Seasonal boat slips are available from the Victoria Day weekend in May (weather dependent) until Thanksgiving weekend in October.
You can contact the Harbour Master directly from mid-April until mid-October. Please contact Parks and Recreation with inquiries in the off-season.
Dredging services and an open channel to the lake is provided by a private operator, contracted by the Municipality.
