channel as you head towards the bridges,
is the Oakville Club. Both of these clubs
are primarily for sailboats, but on the
other side of the bridge is the Oakville
Power Boat Club.
Contrary to popular belief, this was not
founded as an exclusionary club reacting
to the sailors downstream but rather built
from the reality that it was on the other
side of a bridge that tall masts could not
get under. It also has room for larger boats
and so this is where we usually end up.
Just around the creek's bend is the
Burloak Canoe Club which has pretty
serious competitors in its midst including
alumnus and Olympic gold medalist,
Adam van Koeverden. Keep an eye out for
the stand-up paddleboards and swift-moving
race canoes and kayaks as they hone
their skills. If you're able to bring along
kayaks, it's worth the journey up the creek
- at a leisurely pace mind you. There are
stretches where you forget you're smack
dab in the middle of a city. You'll want
to remember that, though, when you make
dinner plans. There are too many great
options within walking distance to settle
for sandwiches on board!
Apologies to my pals at Bronte Harbour
Some of the best swimming options on the lake are from your boat (Oakville).
for giving them the same treatment the
fine folks at Port Credit got in this piece
but again, there are simply too many destinations
to include them all!
At the western extreme of Lake Ontario
is Hamilton Harbour, accessed by a single
channel that is used by pleasure craft
and large ships alike. The lift bridge operates
on the half-hour for pleasure craft, so
long as you've made your way into the
channel. You may have to idle here for a
bit and keep a keen eye out for freighter
traffic and listen to your radio. Whether or
not you were there first, you don't want
to get into a game of chicken with these
behemoths and the turbulent water their
massive props churn up.
In low-water years I was able to drop
our radio antenna and slide under the lift
bridge, but I wouldn't recommend it. If
you think there's room, you can radio the
bridge operator and ask for the current
clearance level but unless it's a sure thing,
you're better off waiting.
Safety is simple
Have a Plan
Don't drink
or do drugs
and boat.
