Wonderful scenic views of the city, tucked in a park with lots wildlife, especially birds. Saw several cardinals and swans. Excellent smooth gravel path for those who want something accessible - works for strollers and I saw some skateboarders even. There are also trails off the path to get closer to the water/ rocks, which is nice when it is busier on the path.

A must must must visit spot to experience the sunrise. Mesmerizing view of sun popping out of water (lake Ontario) Come prepared with fully charged batteries and an empty memory card. Multiple cameras recommended as you cannot spot the exact location of sun rise when you arrive in dark. Spectacular skyline of Toronto. A zoom lense is good to have.

Beautiful tourist destination in Toronto Canada A very good park for walking, running, cycling or biking. U can enjoy the beauty all around. The clean and clear river water seems beautiful blue is also amazing. U can find some birds, ducks roaming around. Best place to have a good time. Even kids enjoy being here. …

It is one of the most soothing place I have ever visited. This gem of a place is just next to my campus, Humber Lakeshore and I visit this place regularly! Water on 3 sides, ships sailing, frequent kayaks and the Toronto Skyline view makes the perfect combination for a perfect gateway!

Love to come here an chill with friends, it's more for city view, watch water waves, look at boats, good moon viewing, also nice small trails. Some cons are hard to find car parking, little busy some times, no sun shades from trees. Hard to find good spot to sit. But I enjoy going it.

There’s a nice wide gravel trail leading out to the point. There’s not a lot of shade so dress appropriately for the walk and make sure you take some water. Hydration is good for you The gravel is hard packed so easy to ride a bike or push a stroller with big wheels.

I'm a birder, but even if you aren't one, you'll enjoy this spot. In May, large tundra-nesting shorebirds called Whimbrels stop off here to rest on their long journey back north. Even non-birders are impressed by the large flocks swirling overhead.

Very interesting place. I would like to know what all the little wood boxes were?? Bat boxes, bird? For bees?? I wish there were some sort of explanation. The path was wonderful AND THE DUCKS SO FRIENDLY! No we did not feed them. Lol

This was surprisingly interesting. The perspective that this gives makes you feel closer to every other country no matter how big the distance. The view is great and there's also a bench for chilling out.

Pretty impressive sign post and views of the city. For the most part it's a peaceful park but it's too bad some dog owners wreck it by allowing their pets off leash. Easy walking and great in the summer.

If you want to experience the whole view Toronto downtown this’s the best place to enjoy. At the night the downtown looks so stunning. And the Lake Ontario is something else! Highly recommended place.

The perfect spot for a picnic. Nice scenic view with the skyline of Toronto. Try go early morning or on sunset with your friends and family. But too many mosquitoes around so carry a bug spray.

Great place to birdwatch. There is a bench at yhis point but often occupied. Great view of the Toronto city skyline. Bring bug spray, though, because there were lots of mosquitoes.

A decent point to enjoy the view. However there are many smaller parks if you want to sit and relax while enjoying the view. There are lot of mosquitoes in some parts of the park.

Very good place to spend time with family. Good parking space available. Great place to bring your bikes and cycle around. Covered with water on the three sides like a peninsula.

Gorgeous place to take in the views. Based on the photos, early morning is best. I bet at sunset would be great. Start your day off here with a coffee and a walk.

Great spot for a bike ride or stroll. Views of Toronto skyline, Humber Bay Shores Community and Mississauga downtown towers. All overlooking Lake Ontario.

I have almost all my morning runs in this park and enjoy the nature, birds and amazing views of Downtown Toronto

Beautiful views, nice walking at the side of the lake. Although it was a rainy day the views are magnificent.

Great place for a walk and to see the skyline. Can only imagine how much nicer it is in warmer temperatures

Beautiful place for a small walk, a cute picnic on the rocks or just to see the skyline

The perfect spot for a picnic. Nice scenic view with the skyline of Toronto.
