Chair Ed Hore has been kayaking around the amazing Toronto Waterfront for decades and gets a lot of questions about the best routes, where to launch, where to park, where to rent, and so on. So he recently tried his hand at an annotated Paddling Map of the waterfront that answers at least some of these questions.

Toronto is stunningly beautiful from the water. But always keep in mind it's on a Great Lake. Particularly in unsheltered areas, the Lake can get choppy and rough; weather changes can be unpredictable. Always make sure you paddle within your skill set. If in doubt take some lessons. There are introductory kayak, canoe and SUP lessons and rentals at Harbourfront Canoe and Kayak Centre and SUP lessons and rentals at various locations across the waterfront. Have fun!

ABOUT WATERFRONT FOR ALL

Waterfront renewal continues apace, but it’s far

from complete. Progress on the waterfront needs

to be celebrated and supported by citizens,

otherwise it may lose momentum or die altogether.

From Etobicoke to Scarborough, we invite citizens

and groups from across Toronto to work together

to keep the revitalization and beautification of our

waterfront moving forward.

Please consider helping our all-volunteer grassroots efforts to bring you this Speaker Series, bring a community voice to the Toronto Waterfront, and work for an accessible, safe, and enjoyable Waterfront for All!
