I recently enjoyed my very first visit to the Leslie Spit. So peaceful and beautiful, you forget you're in Toronto. Much closer than I thought - I was participating in a run that started in the distillery district and it didn't take too long to get there.
I learned that this area is growing, as it is man made. By man made I mean made by man's waste - not human waste (ew!) but dirt from construction sites. It would be cool to see its growth and changes in shape over the years.
