Toronto Islands
The Toronto Islands - also called the Island, or Toronto Island Park - is located in Lake Ontario, a 13-minute ferry ride from downtown Toronto. Boats to the Island leave from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal at the foot of Bay St. and Queen's Quay. The Island is a group of 15 islands inter-connected by pathways and bridges. You can walk from one end of the Island to the other. You can walk, run or take your bike on the island, visit the 200-year-old lighthouse or the trout pond or have a coffee or beer at one of the restaurants. There are lockers at several busy locations, a pier, a boardwalk, formal gardens, playgrounds, artists retreats and even a public grade school.
