Lakefront Promenade Marina

Parking and harbour rules are stricter than the surrounding park, so confirm your berth and services before you arrive.

Glen Haffy Fishing Ponds
Glen Haffy is a managed TRCA fishing stop north of Caledon East, built around stocked rainbow-trout ponds rather than open shoreline searching. Plan it like a conservation-park visit: check the public fishing dates, pay admission and the angling fee, use the posted bait policy, and leave enough time before last admission.
Christie Lake Paddling Access
Christie Lake gives Hamilton-area paddlers a managed reservoir setting with rentals, a launch area, beach facilities, picnic space, and fishing access in the same conservation area. The practical checks are day-use reservations, seasonal Marina Pavilion rentals, no-gas-motor rules, and no-lifeguard swimming.
Valens Lake Fishing Access
Valens Lake is a managed conservation-area reservoir north of Hamilton with fishing from boats, shoreline, docks, and a bridge across the lake. The trip planning is mostly about timing: admission fees apply, rentals are seasonal, electric motors are the limit, and fishing closes every spring for the fish-sanctuary period.
