Lake Shore Boulevard (commonly misspelt Lakeshore Boulevard) is a major arterial road running along most of the waterfront in the Canadian city of Toronto. Prior to 1998, two segments of Lake Shore Boulevard (from the Etobicoke–Mississauga boundary to the Humber River and from the eastern terminus of the Gardiner Expressway to Woodbine Avenue) were designated as part of Highway 2.
Lake Shore Boulevard begins in the west at Etobicoke Creek. It is a direct continuation of Lakeshore Road in Mississauga, which continues west to Hamilton. From here it travels close to, though not always within sight of, Lake Ontario eastward through the city to Ashbridges Bay, where it curves north and becomes Woodbine Avenue. The former route of Highway 2 then follows Kingston Road east.

“... the reason I keep doing it is for the tremendous rush I get at the end of any great swim.... there is ... nothing greater than touching the shore after crossing some great body of water knowing that I’ve done it with my own two arms and legs.... I’m overwhelmed by the strength of my body and the power of my mind. For one moment, just one second, I feel immortal.”
—Diana Nyad (b. 1949)
“Ev’ry street’s a boulevard in old New York.”
