Water levels on the Big Rideau Lake change significantly during the season. BRLA installs and maintains Shoal Markers to ensure everyone a safe passage.

Two shoal makers together identify the extent of a shoal. Go Around, NOT Between!

The Mooring Buoys are now in place off Cow Island. Please have a look at the attached usage rules for both the safety of boaters and members.

Shoal Markers

BRLA installs and maintains 104 Coast Guard Approved Shoal Markers every season. These are shown on the charts of the Rideau Canal system, identified as "Private" markers.

The 104 markers from Narrows Lock to Poonamalie Lock are maintained by Portland contractor Lamont Brown. Nine volunteers, under the direction of the Big Rideau Lake Association Lake Safety Commitee. (lakesafety@brla.on.ca)

If you would like to help out with Shoal Markers, please contact us.
