Toronto is a city with many awesome places that some of us don’t take the time to explore. Not so with Steven and Cyndi. Over several years they’ve been out hiking and photographing Hidden Toronto. The Leslie Street Spit is an ‘artificial-natural’ habitat, extending 5 kilometres into Lake Ontario at the foot of Leslie Street.
The Spit was originally created largely from construction excavations, and is now home to numerous wild animals, birds and butterflies, as well as weekend joggers, cyclists and hikers.
No dogs are allowed because there’s so much animal, bird and plant life on the Spit – over 400 plant species, 300 bird species, reptiles, foxes, otters, coyotes and beaver.
Trails are paved and well maintained, and there are several off-trail areas as well.
