Neste Boat Launch

The Neste Boat Launch is a public boat ramp located at the end of Mountdale Avenue, off Montreal Street, on the Kaministiquia River in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Built in 1996, it provides boaters access to the Kaministiquia River and onward to Lake Superior, serving as a key waterfront access point on the city's south side.

The facility has been the focus of revitalization efforts by local residents and the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority (LRCA), working alongside the City of Thunder Bay's Parks & Open Spaces Section.

Proposed improvements include increased riverbank vegetation, biofiltration basins to filter stormwater runoff before it enters the river, an accessible dock, improved parking, and a viewing platform.
