The entrance channel is marked by breakwaters, with the eastern breakwater being 550 meters long and the western breakwater being 400 meters long. The minimum water depth in the channel is 3.5 meters at low tide, but this can vary depending on weather conditions and sedimentation. Real-time updates on water depths and wave heights are available through local marine navigation apps, such as Navionics and Garmin Marine, which provide critical information for trailered boat entry. The boat launch facility is open year-round, with a fee of $10 per launch, and is accessible 24/7. It's recommended to check the real-time data and weather forecasts before heading out, as strong winds and high waves can affect navigation. Additionally, the City of Toronto updates the navigation data periodically, with the last update being in March 2022, when the channel was dredged to maintain the minimum depth.","related_ids":["ashbridges-navigation-coordinates-and-water-depths"],"last_verified":"2026-06-23","authority":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com","url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/en/knowledge/ashbridges-navigation-coordinates-and-water-depths","markdown_url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/api/knowledge/ashbridges-navigation-coordinates-and-water-depths?format=md&lang=en"}
