@BrentEve member @Nofish was asking about Port Stanley as well.Check out his post from last Sunday July 14/19,there you might find some of the answers that you are looking for,and good luck if you do get a chance to go fishing this thursday afternoon. ? ??We plan on heading out of Port Stanley early Thursday afternoon. (Pending on weather) looking at the different options for boat launch and not finding much information. Can anyone help out with information on recommended launch and what to expect for parking?
We're heading out of Stanley Thurs. morning and we always use the new ramp at the mouth. Haven't experienced any problems with launching or loading but we're particular on days we go. It can be a problem with a strong south wind. Fish straight at starting at 55' and troll towards port Bruce. Lots of fish.
There is a ramp located on the west side of the lift bridge. After you go over the bridge take the first left and follow it towards the pier. It is a new ramp. Shortest route to the water! Stan's marina has a ramp but it will take longer to get to the open water. I will try and find out prices and get back to youWe plan on heading out of Port Stanley early Thursday afternoon.

Lots of Parking but it's a good walk from the ramp.@Nofish is parking an issue there? Or is it abundant and convenient?
It should say july 14/19 not july 14/29 (LoL) sorry about that.We're heading out of Stanley Thurs. morning and we always use the new ramp at the mouth.

Yes,and it could be very slippery indeed as @mick just mentioned. The Canada geese sometimes won’t let you launch our boats either!! They are definitely locals there!! ?be careful and don't step or slip on all the goose droppings on the only dock of the ramp...i used the ramp monday am and what a mess...the stanley municiplity workers driving around there in the 2 red trucks should clean that up and keep it maintained..its a hazard...i was looking for a chance to tell them while i loaded up on the way home..
The goose crap is more of a hazard than the winds.be careful and don't step or slip on all the goose droppings on the only dock of the ramp...i used the ramp monday am and what a mess...the stanley municiplity workers driving around there in the 2 red trucks should clean that up and keep it maintained..its a hazard...i was looking for a chance to tell them while i loaded up on the way home..
WOW!! $30 flat rate for the new pier boat ramp plus parking!! Does that rate come with Mackie’s ? fries & a drink?? lol?Stans rate is S16 for the first 20 feet. $1 per foot after that. Includes parking.
New pier is $30 flat rate includes ramp and parking for the vehicle and trailer. hope this helps.
South winds off lake erie are bad for that ramp for sure! I had my experience with that south wind last year when I was loading my boat onto my boat trailer.I always launch out of Stan's Marina if fishing out of Port Stanley. Launch fee was $15 last year not sure if any change. I wouldn't use the government launch by the pier myself, if south wind comes up creates waves where you can't even get your boat in or out.
