The Toronto Parks Authority runs the Toronto Island Park area. It is a lush garden, with numerous walking and nature trails along the lake shore. The ferry from Toronto stops in one of three ports on the Islands and a walk through any of the numerous trails in the park is a great way to start or end the day. Beautiful flower gardens, tranquil picnic areas -- a great place for families. There are plenty of activities, like disk golf, several cafes and places to eat, lots of sailboats and other boats to see. You'll find places to rent bikes, or a canoe if you want. Beaches, like everything are well maintained and inviting. Unfortunately, I did not make it to the clothing optional beach area this trip.
