11 Reasons Toronto Should Be Your Next Vacation Destination

Just across Lake Ontario from Toronto are the Toronto Islands. The public land trust is home to a few hundred lucky residents (the waiting list for a house there is about 30 years), with several yacht clubs, the Toronto Island Park, and even a lighthouse ghost — or so the story goes. The main island has the Centreville Amusement Park, a farm and petting zoo, restaurants and cafes, and a pier on the beach. Visitors from the city can hop on a ferry, cruise across in a boat or on a Tiki taxi, or, if you're like me — jump in a canoe and paddle all the way over to the islands.
