Detailed answer
The Air Show over Lake Ontario draws spectators to Woodbine Beach, while boaters seek final warm-weather launches. Combined with Monday holiday return traffic on Lake Shore Boulevard East, the single-lane ramp at Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch faces gridlock from 7:30 AM onward. Trailer towers should launch before 6:30 AM or use Humber Bay Park West as alternate.
