Kayaking in the Don Valley

Explore the wonders of our local water ways with our brand new kayaking program!

We’re thrilled to bring you a new opportunity to view the Don River, Portlands, and Tommy Thompson Park from a completely new perspective. The Don River is at the heart of everything we do at DMWTD and one of the best ways to appreciate its significance to our ecosystem is from its waters. We want to provide everyone with the chance to do just that with this new program.

Every Sunday morning we will meet at our new location on Cherry Beach. Groups will be led by an experienced kayaker and a member of the DMWTD team. We’ll take you on an exploratory tour of our local waterways, providing excellent educational insights as we look at the impact of human activity throughout history until today on the health of our rivers and water systems. We’ll even host river and shoreline cleanups where the kayaks will be used to carry the litter and access parts of the Don that are inaccessible by foot!

Like all our programs participation is completely free and all equipment will be provided. Suitable for beginners and experienced kayakers alike.

Every Sunday 9am - 2pm

Booking is done on a rolling basis through our Eventbrite, becoming available two weeks before each date on Fridays at 1pm.
