Where is the nearest ramp in TO I can pull out? If I sail to TO but get pinned down by weather, I might want to bring my trailer around to TO, pull out, and trailer home.

What about in Port Credit? It looks like there's a ramp right across the river, but I don't know if it's ok to leave a car and trailer there for a few nights, or if there's a better place.

Tom, Port Credit works, and I think the parking is first come first served. Not the best ramp, but busy in season. I would say fairly secure due to fairly efficient area policing.- but don't hold me to that too strongly.
We're selling the home but will most likely still be here during August. I can park anyone in the back forty for as long as they'd like, but that's across the lake near Jordan Harbour, where we're coming from. Still weather hamstrung if stuff turns though.

So far the best ramp I have found, is the one we all use.
Lakefront Promenade Park
Launching from this area
Mississauga Sailing Club
120 Lakefront Promenade
Mississauga, ON L5E 3G9
(905) 891-1941

I have searched all over trying to find a place where we can rig and launch
And then leave vehicle and trailer there overnight
For several nights
So far I can't find anything anywhere
The place we launch from posts signs everywhere that say no overnight parking
Rocky has used that location for years with no issues
Leaving vehicle and trailer behind for several nights at a time
We have also
However, that doesn't mean we wont get shut down at some point
The ramp across from the Credit Village Marina is acceptable, but not the greatest
You can park you stuff around the corner from that, but again, signs saying no overnight parking
There are storage places nearby that have plenty of boat/rv/trailer slots avail
For a price
Most of the sailing clubs along Lake Ontario have no ramps as they just crane everything in and out 2 times a year
Thanks for the info. I'm not a member of any club, nor would I want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member (yeeees, yes indeed), but the Boat US ramp finder shows another ramp right next to the club. Is this one ok for leaving the car and trailer for a few days? Or can I use the club ramp?
