Day Drinking at It's Finest!
KatyM123, June 2026
Small pontoon boat that seats 12 and has a bartender and a captain. The boat goes down the canals of the islands on the lake directly across from Toronto. The captain gives lots of details about the islands, the natural habitat, and other historical and current facts. The drinks were delicious and the bar tender was very friendly! There were four of us and one other group of four celebrating a 40th! We all had a wonderful time and I got some outstanding pictures!
