We will meet in Kingsmill Park next to the Old Mill at the same parking spot and "put-in" used by the agency that offers kayak rentals and lessons from this location (See map).
The entrance to the park is just west of the Old Mill bridge running south. From the entrance you go about 100 meters to the parking lot. It is open to the general public and there is ample free parking. It's a very short carry from the parking lot to the water.

That agency is called Toronto Adventures. If you or anyone needs their services, follow the link. They gave us a number of 25% discount cards but we think that just mentioning the promo code on the card is enough to get the discount. The code is ADVSHOW2014.
The "put-in" is very accessible. It is possible to have a relaxed paddle down to the lake (about 3 kilometers or so) and back in about two hours. The flow in the river is gentle so the return journey is very easy. We have seen quite a lot of wildlife on this paddle - egrets, kingfishers, turtles etc.
