Toronto Islands paddling

The Toronto Islands sit in Lake Ontario off downtown Toronto, and Destination Ontario sends kayakers to their quiet inlets and lagoons for a view of Canada's largest urban area. blogTO describes canoes, kayaks, paddleboards and pedal boats as a way to explore the channels, beaches and lagoons around the island.

The City of Toronto rents canoes, solo kayaks and tandem kayaks at the Boat House on Centre Island for one or three hours, with paddles and lifejackets included and boats reserved on site from 11 a.m. Toronto Island SUP on Wards Island rents kayaks and paddleboards and offers lessons and SUP yoga.
