Outdoor activities for shoulder season
I am in Toronto, Canada. From mid May to mid September, there is a ton to do outdoors. Fishing, hiking, canoeing ,kayaking , sailing, camping etc etc.
In winter, January to March , there is skiing, Nordic skiing,winter camping, ice fishing etc.
What are some outdoor activities that one can enjoy in Months of October, November, December and April?

Ice skating is my favourite elusive shoulder season activity. Out here in Banff we'll often get the right conditions in late November for the ponds to freeze over without a snowfall, creating a crystal clear skating surface.
But it doesn't happen every year, and it takes just one snowfall to ruin it. Larger lakes take longer to freeze, and some get enough wind that it clears off through December.
In April, whitewater canoeing in the spring thaw is a popular option (wear a dry suit!) while hiking can be done on southern aspects. In Banff you can downhill ski until the end of May, while people continue to ski tour until the end of June.
