Description
Avoid the Boxing Day shopping crowds and come hike with the TBTC instead. The Toronto Islands are very peaceful in the Winter Season. We will catch the 3:15 or 3:45 pm ferry to be back in the city by 4 pm. Bring a lunch, snacks, water, a hot beverage, and icers if the first snow has fallen. Dress in warm layers appropriate to the weather. Heated washrooms available. Dropout anytime by walking back to the Ward's Island Ferry Dock. We will hike towards Hanlan's Point and return to Ward's Island (the only destination served in the Winter) - approximately 5-6 km each way.
