Is this the entrance?

Yes, but the aerial is somewhat dated. Not sure what the oval is at the base of the launching ramp, though.

Coming from Acton, take the 6 south to the QEW to 406 s
Get off at East Main and head into Welland. Look for Lincoln Street, and it is a dirt road that is right next to a set of lights for Denistoun.

I am not sure what that oval is either, but if you look closely you can see the outline of the sunken tug

Photo looks like it was in winter, with ice cover. Someone has most likely shovelled light snow cover off to form an oval. Visual reference for under ice diving? (The area around the docks looks like there is some open water.

 

[Dr Dog]

probably right there. Could have been ice.

SCUBA park may be inaccessible this weekend due to activities on the recreational waterway. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[Dr Dog]

correct, junior swimming comp going on there. But I am heading to Windmill tomorrow morning

I was concerned that SCUBA Steve from Acton might be trying to dive there. I sent him a Private message.

 

[Dr Dog]

ahh good idea, never thought about that.. Well Scuba Steve, windmill is a good alt to that, there is a cover charge, but it is a fairly big quarry and about 28 ish feet max. 5 boats 1 pickup, 2 platforms and various other stuff ( tub) etc

I have no plans on diving there in the foreseeable (sp?) future but thanks for watching my back

I was just trying to help by posting the map

That's good. Just didn't want you to drive all the way down for nought.
