Town of Deseronto to Re-open its Boat Launch on May 15, 2020.

Boats are being launched at the Deseronto boat launch.

On May 15th the boat launch at Centennial Park in Deseronto will reopen for local use only. At this time, travelling outside your local area is still discouraged by Public Health officials.

The Town is reminding boaters that Provincial emergency orders that prohibit the gathering of more than 5 people and physical distancing guidelines remain in place.

To safely enjoy boating during the COVID-19 State of Emergency, please observe the following safe use procedures:

·       Only launch your boat within your local municipality.

·       If another boater is launching a boat when you arrive, please queue in line, and remain in your vehicle until they are finished.

·       Do not congregate near the boat launch prior to or after launching your boat.

·       Maintain a physical distance of 2 metres (6 feet) apart from others while loading/unloading your boat and while on the waterways.

·       Follow safe and responsible boating practices to minimize the need for emergency service response.

Although the Town’s boat launch will be re-opening, there will be no docks or public washroom facilities available at this time.  The playground equipment and park facilities remain closed.
