Group Intro to Stand-Up Paddleboarding on Toronto Island
Discover the beauty and history of Toronto Island with this group introduction to stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Located in Western Lake Ontario, Toronto Island offers a lush landscape filled with diverse plants and wildlife, along with a rich history dating back to the first Native American inhabitants. Did you know that Toronto, originally called York, was settled here because of the island's natural harbor? Wards and Algonquin Island are among the oldest neighborhoods in the city, with descendants still living in the area today.

All necessary equipment is provided, including paddleboards, paddles, PFDs, and dry bags for your phones (supplies limited).
