Use the ramp finder above — allow location access and the explorer sorts launches by distance from you. You can also filter by region, water body, or city across 1,267 published Ontario launch records.
Are there free boat launches near me?
Yes. Many municipal and conservation-area launches in Ontario are free to use. Set the fee filter to “free” in the ramp finder to show only no-fee launches, or compare free and paid ramps side by side.
What do I need to launch a boat in Ontario?
A pleasure craft with a motor of 10 hp (7.5 kW) or more needs a Pleasure Craft Licence, with the licence number displayed on both sides of the bow in characters at least 75 mm tall. You also need the required safety equipment on board. Read the launch-law checklist before you tow.

Use the explorer to choose where to tow. Then make sure your Pleasure Craft Licence numbers, vessel markings, and safety prep are handled before you hit the ramp.
