## Quick answer

Anchor off Leslie Street Spit, dinghy to park; no vehicle access for trailers.

## Detailed answer

Tommy Thompson Park has no boat launch or trailer parking. Boaters from Ashbridges Bay Marina or Woodbine Beach must anchor in Outer Harbour and paddle or use a dinghy. Check Toronto Parks hours; gates close at dusk. Best fishing is south side near lighthouse.
