Hanlan's Point

Our Canadian long weekend is upon us and I'm sure many Toronto area people want to get to Hanlan's to start their tan. I checked earlier and saw the ferry is still not running because of the high water. I hope they start on Friday.

I saw that too. I think we lost Hanlan's for the year, the lake level won't go down fast enough.

Thanks for the tip, have not been to the bluffs and was thinking of going. I've been to Port Burwell a couple of times this year and its a good spot. Friendly people and not too crowded but enough people to create a good atmosphere. It looks like we may not get Hanlan back until into August and thats only a maybe. We need more 'official' beaches for nude sunbathing in the area so you can do this without fear of offending any clothed beach goers.

I went to Port Burwell this past weekend for my first time. Nice beach and I will definitely go back. One of the guys in the group I went with has been to Scarborough Bluff's this year.

Just announced...

"Parts of the Toronto Islands will remain off limits for the rest of the summer, the city of Toronto announced today.

The city says it's working to reopen parts of the Toronto Island Park by its target date of July 31, however, some popular places - such as Hanlan's Beach, Gibraltar Point, Olympic Island and some of Centre Island, like the grandstand - will stay closed for the remainder of the season."

Lake level in Lake Ontario hasn't been this high since the 1920's. The islands were flooded and the water level has not decreased enough.

It looks like Hanlan's will reopen after all on Monday the 31st. It is reported that mosquitoes in the are have tested for carrying West Nile.
