Pinhey’s Point Public Dock

Small public dock giving access to the Pinhey's Point Historic Site and public bathroom/shower facilities. The bottom is very rocky and the water is no more than 3 feet deep, so the dock is suitable only for tenders/dinghies with the exception of the outermost side, where shallow draft boats up to about 20 feet in length can tie up. The dock has pretty small mooring cleats that fold down, so it can be a bit challenging with thick dock lines. Also known as Horaceville, the historic site was the property of the heirs of Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey until the 1970s, when the property was sold to the township. Today, The 88-acre heritage site is owned and operated by the City of Ottawa and Pinhey's home serves as a museum. The museum is open May 14 through August 31, Wednesdays to Sundays, 11 am to 5 pm.
