Check with Parks Canada for current fees and rules for mooring, docking, dinghies and use of engines.
Park islands that do not allow running of engines or generators (2006):
Mermaid, Leek, Cedar, Milton, Endymion, Mulcaster, North Grenadier, East Grenadier, Stovin, Adelaide.
Park facilities
Park policy has resulted in ongoing removal of many of the facilities for visitors: docks, garbage collection, campsites, fireplaces, firewood, barbeques, and replacing outhouses with composting toilets. Shelters have not been maintained - even the historic ones.
Park fees
Park fees are collected during the park season. Fees are in Canadian dollars
and include 7% GST. Day-use or overnight fees are payable immediately upon your
arrival at a dock or mooring can. A "Day-use Fee" allows people to visit the islands until 7 pm.
Fees for mooring buoys were introducted in 1997, and have a 3-day limit, same as docks.
Visitors to the park from anchored boats must pay a day-use fee. Use the forms provided at the dock (or dinghy ramp). A seasonal day use mooring permit allows people to visit the islands until 7 pm.
Receipts and stickers must be posted in plain view. Fine for non-payment is about $100.
Seasonal Permits:
A seasonal overnight mooring (docking) permit for this park is transferable
and valid at the following locations for overnight mooring (not canal lockage):
Ontario: St. Lawrence Islands NP, Georgian Bay Islands NP, Fathom Five, Trent-Severn Waterway, Rideau Canal.
Quebec: Carillon Canal, Ste. Anne-de-Bellevue, Chambly Canal, St. Ours Canal.
A seasonal day use mooring permit allows people to visit the islands until 7 pm. Seasonal fees can be paid in advance by mail or from the office at Mallorytown Landing. Note that a dinghy pass is included with your seasonal boat pass, but it only allows you to use dinghy ramps or beaching on shore. A dinghy on a dock must pay normal dockage fees.

Alcohol:
Drinking alcohol is not allowed to be drunk in a public place by Ontario law.
It is not permitted on the dock or in the roofed shelters. The only place it
is legal to drink is on board your ('not under way') boat or within the marked
boundaries of a camp-site. It is illegal in Ontario to "display liquor
to the public" (i.e. don't display a bottle on the cockpit table). Most
park regulations and provincial laws are enforced by Police (OPP or RCMP).
