Fisherman's Pier Boat Ramp
Fisherman's Pier Boat Ramp
Fisherman's Pier is a boat launch and recreational area situated at the shipping canal at the entrance to Hamilton Harbour on Lake Ontario.
The site offers anglers and boaters direct access to the lake and is recognized by local fishing charters as a key Lake Ontario launch point.
Beyond the boat ramp, the pier is notable for its front-row views of large cargo ships passing in and out of the port, and it is home to the historic Beach Canal Lighthouse, which dates to 1858.
Port authority HOPA Ports has undertaken a public consultation process to redevelop the area into a broader recreational destination, with efforts underway to restore the lighthouse and open it to visitors.
