Map

Free parking on gravel lot just off Bayview Ave.

Park here, inflate kayak and carry down to water. At 10am there was lots of parking and at 12:30 there was still lots of parking when we got back.

Kayaking Route

From Cherry Beach, we paddled West then North through the Eastern Channel into Toronto's Inner Harbour. We did a circle of Algonquin Island then returned the way we came.

See our route map here. 6km took us 2 hours on the water (?).

Post-Kayaking Plans

Lunch at T&T Supermarket's Food Court. We ended up splitting a large sushi platter for $22.99 and also bought a large bottle of Calpis drink.
