Marinas
The Toledo City Park system has two public boat launch sites. The first is located at Cullen Park in Point Place on Lake Erie's Maumee Bay. The second, at Walbridge Park (across from the Toledo Zoo), provides recreational boaters and fishermen easy access to the scenic upper reaches of the mighty Maumee River as it flows around islands where some of the best fishing and pleasure boating in Ohio can be found.
