The 10 Best Outdoor Activities in Toronto, Canada

October 26, 2021 Natalie Tallman

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Martin Goodman Trail

Reviewed By GWToronto - Toronto, Canada

If you don’t have a bike you can rent one from Bike Share Toronto (See website for locations) and join the Martin Goodman Trail (download map from website) bike path at the Harbourfront. Proceed east on the bike path to Cherry Street then south to Cherry Beach (Note: Bike Share has a location here as well+ there is a Food Truck here.) Keep heading east on the bike path then the shoulder of Unwin Ave. to rejoin the path at the Leslie Spit. Here you have a choice to go south onto the Spit (which is a nature preserve) or head north on the bike path along Leslie St. to Lakeshore Blvd where there are fast food and coffee places) Note: if you have time to ride the Spit it is well worth it. Follow the bike path east through Ashbridges Bay and along side the Beach’s boardwalk through the various Beaches parks to Balmy Beach where the bike path/trail continues On Road. Note: There is food/drink at various locations in the beaches parks alongside the bike path (see review: “Beaches and Cream” and you can return your bike to one of the beaches Bike Share locations and make the return trip by the Queen St. Streetcar (#501) or return by bike.

Waterfront Trail : 1000 Islands

Reviewed By 968shelbya - Cedar Rapids, United States

I wish we could've stayed longer here. This is such a nice trail along Lake Ontario. The weather was perfect as well as the scenery. The only thing missing was my dog. I saw lots of people riding bikes and scooters along with those walking and jogging.

Get walk as well.

Woodbine Park

Reviewed By GitchSup - Duluth, United States

We wanted a place to relax a little after spending a lot of the day in the city. Someone recommended Woodbine so we gave it a try. It was much larger than I expected and had a very nice vast beach area with places to play volleyball, a boardwalk to walk on, huge beach area and a really nice wooded area to walk through. There is even a Tim Hortons next to the parking lot in case you get hungry. We had a very enjoyable time just relaxing and strolling through the park and watching the scenery change as we went.
