## Quick answer

Extreme; triple normal traffic, 2-hour ramp waits, full lots by 5 AM.

## Detailed answer

July 1 weekend draws anglers to Outer Harbour and families to Woodbine Beach. City of Toronto Parks staff manage one-way traffic on Lake Shore Boulevard East. Reserve Friday evening launch or use ABYC guest dock.
