The Toronto Islands are located in Lake Ontario just offshore from the city centre, and provide shelter for Toronto Harbour. The islands are a popular recreational destination, and are home to a small residential community and to the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. The islands comprise the largest urban car-free community in North America, though some service vehicles are permitted. Recreationa
l bicyclists are accommodated on the ferries, and bicycles, quadracycles, and canoes can be rented on the islands as well.
