Vehicle and trailer parking is $8.00 per hour, strictly in designated zones.","answer_detail":"To access the Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch parking lots from Lake Shore Boulevard East, turn south onto Coxwell Avenue (recently co-named Emdaabiimok Avenue). Almost immediately after leaving the Lake Shore intersection, you will approach a critical fork in the road. Keep right at this fork to enter the dedicated launch facility access route; the left fork leads to the main Ashbridges Bay park area and is restricted to standard passenger vehicles. As you proceed down the right fork, you will pass the Toronto Hydroplane and Sailing Club on your left side, which serves as a key landmark confirming you are on the correct route. Continue past the club, and you will arrive directly at the launch ramp parking lots. Vehicle and trailer parking is strictly regulated in this area. The parking fee is $8.00 per hour, with a daily maximum of $35.00, and payment can be made at the on-site pay-and-display machines. It is crucial to note that trailers must only occupy designated trailer parking spots; parking a vehicle with a trailer in a standard vehicle-only lane is strictly prohibited and subject to towing. During peak summer weekends, the lot reaches capacity by 8:00 AM, so early arrival is highly recommended. The access routes feature a one-way traffic loop around the launch ramps to ensure smooth flow for vehicles backing down the ramps.","related_ids":["ashbridges-parking-and-driving-directions-from-lakeshore"],"last_verified":"2026-06-27","authority":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com","url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/en/knowledge/ashbridges-parking-and-driving-directions-from-lakeshore","markdown_url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/api/knowledge/ashbridges-parking-and-driving-directions-from-lakeshore?format=md&lang=en"}
