Higher than normal Thames River water levels may trigger a boating ban in London to ensure the safety of river users. Consult the UTRCA website for river level / flood status warnings. This map is for general information only and should not be used for detailed trip planning. Multiple access points can be used from the Thames Valley Parkway, multi-use trail system and by using the London Transit Commission bus routes www.london.ca/Maps www.ltconline.ca/Pubs/RideGuide.pdf Fanshawe Conservation Area requires an entry fee. Environmentally Significant Areas (ESA’s) have their own rules for use - see www.london.ca/esa for details. Western Ontario Fish & Game Club property is privately owned and requires permission for use. DISCLAIMER: This guide was prepared as an initiative to aid those who wish to fish and paddle in the Thames River in London. The City of London assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of the map or for the river conditions. We advise users that river water levels are variable at various locations shown and that the conditions encountered require different skill levels. Users are solely responsible for any risks encountered in the use of the river and for their own safety and for any loss, costs or expenses incurred by the City as a result of user acts or omissions.

All anglers between ages 18 and 64 must posses a valid fishing licence. People not in this age group do not require a licence, but have all the rights and responsibilities of people with a licence. Visitors from outside the province require a non-resident licence. Persons with disabilities do not require a fishing licence.
