## Quick answer

Floating docks with wheels; limited fendering, bring your own fenders.

## Detailed answer

City-maintained floating docks adjust with Lake Ontario levels. Fixed rub rails are minimal; vertical piles can scuff hulls. Spring 2020 low levels exposed mud at ramp toe. Check Toronto Hydrographic Service forecasts before launching.
