Even more appealing to many, the islands are considered to be the loca- tion of North America’s largest urban community that is car free. Toronto Island Tree Tour Consistent with the car-free theme, one of the coolest things a visitor to the islands can do is take the self- guided Toronto Island Tree Tour, part of the Canadian Tree Tours program. You can download a sheet from www. CanadianTreeTours.org listing the tour’s 58 trees, or pick up a tour sheet at a tourism-brochure display. All the trees have identification plaques. But even better, the tour sheets include GPS coordinates for each tree. So, to make it interesting, you can pick out a few that you’d like to hone in on, consult your smart phone, and make a beeline from tree to tree on your own self-guided mini-tour. Among the possible candi- dates: Kentucky coffee-tree, Swedish whitebeam, Japanese zelkova, Lon- don plane-tree, European larch and a Schubert cherry. The trees are situated along the road that runs for 5 km from one end ofTorontoIslandtotheother.Thetour can be accessed from Hanlans Point at the west end, Wards Island at the east end, or at Centre Island where the tour loops through the Avenue of the Islands. Each of the 58 trees has an identifi- cation plaque and a green marker on the sidewalk.
