One is 11.5 kilometres long! 🌊
Staff Writer

You can float the day away at these incredible lazy rivers in Ontario

Standing in front of an air conditioner isn't the only way to beat the summertime heat. Instead, you can keep cool and have fun while floating on picturesque blue water in a tube.

Many of these journeys take several hours, so they are the perfect weekend adventure. But there is no need to worry about the logistics, as they will handle shuttles and rentals, so all you need to do is kick back and relax.
