Along the shores of Lake Ontario, the Port Hope waterfront offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities including hiking, swimming, boating, and leisure.
The Municipality hosts two main public beaches. These beaches provide a quiet place to take a dip or enjoy a sunset. Playgrounds and picnic areas are available nearby.
The boat launch is open year-round at no cost to the user. The fish cleaning station is located along Mill Street South.
The Ganaraska River in the Municipality of Port Hope offers some of the most diverse fishing experiences in the Province, with Salmon and Trout reaching up to 40 pounds.
The Future of Port Hope's Waterfront
The Waterfront and Riverwalk Master Plan provides an indication of the planned future changes in the redesign of the waterfront area, including the centre pier.
We are developing a comprehensive, innovative, and achievable Plan. You can help shape the future design of your waterfront. Visit My Port Hope, our community engagement platform, where you will find a wealth of information about the Plan development process.
