    It's a good spot for canoeing. The river upstream is a bit shallow to canoe so you go downstream towards the lake. Many species of birds and plants to be seen. Do yourself a favor and leave your music home, you'll really enjoy listening to the nature.

    Beautiful marshes with a body of water dividing the coasts. I highly recommend this area for families seeking recreation. There is even a location to rent watercraft at the north end as I've seen people drive boats, kayaks, and canoes along the waterways near the Humber Marshes.

    Perfect spot to launch my new fishing kayak! There is also a huge dog park beside the parking lot.

    Out of sight and path entrances hidden away make for an exciting find for these hidden bodies of water. Probably best visited in late spring as the tree buds begin to sprout.

    Great place to enjoy nature, just steps from the TTC. Walk, cycle, or paddle your way around. Yesterday we saw electric blue dragonflies, painted turtles, ducks, geese, swans, cormorants, grey, blue, and white herons. A friendly man in another boat even pointed out two beautiful Black Crowned Night Herons. This stretch of the river is easily accessible by car (free parking!), and is just minutes from Old Mill Station. I highly recommend it!

    Amazing gem in downtown Toronto. Get here by any personal watercraft and you'll love this place. We slept on our SUP for half hour here. Also amazed to see the birds and geese around. Just watch out when the water level is low, you may be not be able to come in or your boat may hit the bottom.

    What a great spot for kayaking & SUP! Easy launch area for a kayak and lots of marshes and nature to explore, directly in the heart of the Toronto! Be courteous to others on the water and with the limited parking available.

    A beautiful oasis in the middle of the city. Honestly it’s very surreal to have a place where you can boat on a river and see high rises and the CN tower in the distance. Saw lots of kayaks, paddle boards, canoes and motor boats.

    Nice and peaceful. However, you need either a boat or a kayak or a bicycle to enjoy the area. Hiking in the area is a bit boring in my opinion, since there are no outlook points. If you are driving from the east of the city to enjoy the walk, you might be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Peter I. 2 years ago on Google β€’ 49 reviews
    One of my favorite local spots to paddle, close to the city, nice amount of wildlife and not too much traffic this time of year. I normally get in at the Humber boat put in but there are a few spots along the river from old mill to the lake itself. Be careful on windy days of venturing too far into the lake if you are not experienced. People have fires at the mouth of river but police will shut it down if they catch you, hasn't stopped people though.

    So beautiful. Feels like you are outside of city. Water is a great temp too it you hit a clear area to swim. Lots of wildlife. Geese, turtles, muskrats, ducks, etc. Lots of friendly people on water. I access with a $54 Canadian tire boat right under old mill station

    Nice area for a walk or bike ride but mostly you can just drive in and through to see the Humber River. πŸ‘πŸ‘

    The Humber Marshes is one of my hidden favorite places in the city where you can fish, canoe, kayak, or walk around the river. It's very scenic and peaceful with nature and many species of birds
