The Martin Goodman Trail
Walk, jog or bike the Martin Goodman Waterfront Trail which spans Toronto’s waterfront. The popular pathway stretches 22km across the city along the shores of Lake Ontario. With views of the Toronto Islands, the trail hits all of the waterfront’s highlights including the Tommy Thompson Park, Sugar Beach, Harbourfront Centre, Simcoe Wavedeck, Toronto Music Garden and so much more . Reaching well-beyond the city limits, the Martin Goodman Trail represents just a fraction of the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail which covers 3600km of shoreline on Lakes Ontario, Erie and Huron, and on Georgian Bay. In all, it connects 155 towns, villages and First Nations communities.

Cherry Beach
Located in the southern the Port Lands, Cherry Beach Public Park is a vibrant, Blue Flag-certified spot that offers a bathing area and dog park along the beach. Unlike HTO Park and Sugar Beach, Cherry Beach maintains its rugged natural charm. With two Bike Share Toronto docking stations, you can reach Cherry Beach easily with a ride along the Martin Goodman Trail.
Cherry Beach is a great beach for picnickers, windsurfers, and stand-up paddleboarders and more.
Kayak and Canoe Rentals
Looking to explore the waterfront from a different angle? Kayaking, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding are a great way to get out onto Lake Ontario. There are several locations where you can rent equipment and receive a safety overview and life jackets to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.
