Port of Orillia Dredging Project

The Port of Orillia dredging project is a substantial construction project between the Waterfront Centre and the break walls that will provide enhancements to the Port of Orillia. 

During this project, the boat launch and a portion of the parking lot at the Orillia Waterfront Centre will be closed to the public. The paved trail and fishing pier will remain open. While the project is underway, active dredging will keep the water moving and break ice during the process, preventing thick ice from forming. 

To ensure public safety during ongoing dredging operations, we strongly advise all individuals to stay out of the designated dredging area and away from nearby ice. Ice in and around the dredging site is unstable and unsafe, posing significant risks to snowmobilers, ice fishers, and pedestrians.
