Port Franks Marina, Lambton Shores

The Port Franks facility was acquired from the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority in 2001 and includes; a community park, picnic area and in addition provides a public boat launch. Located at 43 14 75 N, 81 55 59W this marina boasts 90 seasonal docks and 2 transient slips.

Boaters are more than welcome to experience the natural beauty of Port Franks through the Harbour's free "Loan-a-Bike" program. Patrons are also able to increase their waste diversion through the utilization of our various recycle bins and the Solar Digesters, which are installed through-out the park. The Port Franks Harbour is home to various rare species of birds, fish, reptiles and insects including; the Queen snake, Map Turtle, the Eastern Sand Darter and the Greenside Darter. The Marina is also home to beautiful sand dunes.

Recently the Harbour installed updated playground equipment, a volleyball court and a walkway through the wooded area of the park. The Marina is open for operation from Victoria Holiday to Thanksgiving Week-end.
