Minnehaha Bay Community Waterfront Wharf
The redevelopment of the Minnehaha Bay Wharf and Marina located on King Street in Sturgeon Falls is a comprehensive undertaking that will include a number of facility upgrades and improvements to its recreational infrastructure. The opening of the newly renovated Minnehaha Bay Wharf and Marina is the culmination of several years of discussion and planning and the new amenity is promising to be an important addition to West Nipissing’s future success in economic development.
The Minnehaha Bay Wharf and Marina services and upgrades will include the following elements:
- 38 permanent docking slips;
- 38-40 transient docking spots;
- Twenty-Four hour security;
- Launch ramp;
- Sewage pump out service;
- Shore Power – Hydro;
- Public Washrooms and Showers;
- Secure parking and an Incline lift.
Permanent Boat slips will be issued primarily to Residents of West Nipissing and West Nipissing tax payers. No special privileges will be awarded. If the amount of interested Dockers exceeds that of our available permanent docking slips, the award process that shall be by way of a lottery. All interested Dockers’ names will be entered into a draw and slips will be awarded to the first 38 chosen. If spots remain empty, outside residents will then have an opportunity to purchase a boat slip on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please note that boat slips will be issued and registered under the specific boat that will occupy that particular spot. Boat slips will not be registered under the boat owners’ name.
If you are interested in purchasing a permanent boat slip, application forms can be picked up at the Municipal Offices, 225 Holditch Street, Sturgeon Falls, On, P2B 1T1 or found on our municipal website www.westnipissing.ca . All applications must be received no later than Thursday April 15th, 2010. In the event of a draw, the draw will be held publicly on Thursday April 22nd, 2010 in Council Chambers at 3:00 p.m.
