Boating Season Sets Sail In Leamington

The newly expanded Leamington marina opens Saturday morning.

The marina recently received $885,000 worth of new docks and $130,000 in facility upgrades. The municipality says the docks are 90% sold for the season.

A new pier has been built with 45-60 foot docks to accommodate larger vessels.

Visitors will also see a new digital entrance sign to highlight community events and upgrades to the main building and the pavilion.

The opening festivities begin at 9am and continue until 2pm with a live band on the patio.

Leamington Marina says it is home to some of the largest boats on this side of Lake Erie.
