Beautiful cycling trail through farmer's fields, forests, marshes. Easy peddling and lots of great spots to stop and rest. Love this trail network!

This national park was such a hidden gem in the middle of the City of Markham. Parking was easy. This park was well maintained and the Tanglewood Trail was easy to follow & quite straightforward. There were some up and downhills in the woods but not too difficult or danger. Some trails were closed for maintenance at the moment. They had signs to keep you out of those areas. The scenery was amazing. There were many nice views for taking great photos. Since it was such a good place for hiking and biking, I guess it can get busy on weekends. I suggest it’s better to go there on a weekday to enjoy the peace and nature with less people.

Perfect Place for a Perfect Hike. Bob Hunter Memorial Park is located in the Southeast corner of Markham. The Park itself is a National Park that has many kilometres of trails for all levels of hiking. There is ample parking and always people coming and going from all the parking areas, be patient and a parking spot will turn up sooner or later. Visit the website for alternate parking on Reesor Road. At the Trailhead, there is an education centre that may or may not be open due to COVID-19 restrictions, and a picnic area with porto-potties. The great draw to the park is the trail system itself as it winds through many areas of the park. On the trails, you will see vast green meadows, a thickly wooded area, the Rouge River, bridges and many areas to sit down. Be warned though there is a Tick Advisory, so dress appropriately, and of course on a warm humid summer day, when you in deeper into the wooded area you will find many insects including mosquitoes, so bring your bug spray. This was not my first visit to this park, but this time I decided to take pictures, so I could share them with the Yelp community. My kids were excited as this is a park that is open to all, kids, adults, families, couples and just anyone who enjoys the outdoors. The trails are well kept but on this visit, a few of them were blocked off mostly due to tree falls or erosion and flood damage from storms. Please take the time to visit this park, bring your family and your friends, and you could spend the whole day there if you like. There are maps at the Main Parking lot which are fairly easy to follow. We had a blast and I'm sure you will too!!!

Empty with free parking. Nice spot to see some fall colours, but the trail itself is nothing spectacular. Not worth driving from far away as its similar to forest trails that you could find nearby your house

Great winter hiking trail. Well maintained. The trails has River, bridge, forest and flat road. Nice and sunny in winter. Take us around 45 to 60 mins for a loop. A little slippery in the forest, maybe need a hiking shoe. Some dog walkers in the trail.

Bob Hunter Memorial Park - Reesor, Tanglewood and Tallgrass Trek Trails These trails are a mix of forest, meadows and open fields. In the forest trails, one can see really old trees. Open wide meadows and fields are being regenerated and it can be hot and sunny during summer. There is parking available and washrooms. Went back to the Tanglewood Trail in late summer. You can see some of the trees starting to turn yellow but the wildflowers are still in bloom.

A large parking lot with garbage cans and washrooms. Trails are well marked and well maintained. The east side of loop is more scenic than the west side. Liked the forest, the hiking was a very therapeutic.

Good scenery and great for landscape photography. Paths are wide and paved but also not shaded so it's recommended to bring sunglasses or a sunhat during the summer months. Not too crowded with ample parking space. Different trails offer different views like grassy wilderness, ponds, swamps and even trails near the road or railway tracks.

Lovely 1hr walk, very easy and partly paved. You get to walk in the forest and also see the open views. Party shaded, and not much bugs around on the way I visited (Early June). Recommended for everyone.

Great trails, numerous routes; beautiful strolling experience within the urban life. Loved coming back here repeatedly!

I remember watching Bob Hunter on Toronto's Citytv, both he and the station were pioneers. It's fitting that we can walk trails in Bob Hunter Memorial Park to appreciate his environmental passion. I checked it out for the first time in late October 2021 by walking the southernmost portion, Tanglewood. The eastern side runs along the Rouge River, an amazing urban watershed, and the trails had the distinct scent of cedars, you can almost forget you are part of the city. The western side has more hardwood leaves on the trail and the views remind you that the city continues to encroach upon the watershed. The trail would likely get muddy after rain, so dress accordingly. Note that I found that the cross portion of the trails is not open so you will be taking a big loop with Reesor Way. If you read the information plaques you find out about First Nations history and how far Peter Reesor walked and why. They are found along the trail and are separate from the map board. Let's respect the Rouge and enjoy our walks!

Visit: September 2023 This park was absolutely beautiful. For something in the GTA area, this is one of the best parks I've been to here. It was completely isolated from the urban life, and you get a deep, touching connection with nature. We did encounter a couple of small snakes though, so that's something to note Highly recommend going here, as it was one of the best parks on my visit

Great hiking paths! Would recommend all year round. Just be prepared to dress according to the weather and terrain.

Nice place for hiking. Can find many varieties of plants. Cycling can be done. Can find some ancient structures on the way. Recommended for a 2-3 hour hike. Terrain - moderate.

Beautiful, serene, calm, away from hustle and bustle of city even though it is right in and around that... The fact that you can easily find a refuge from daily life and can let your hiking thirst quenched and walk in nature as if you are in wilderness, promises a well deserved weekend outing. Take water, camera and perhaps your fitness monitoring gadget and begin your adventure. Easily accessible and worth it.

This is a newly transformed beautiful national park. We visited yesterday after it was open in May. They added washroom, new signs, installed new board walks and put gravel rocks. It has multiple short trails from 1 KM to 3KM, you can definitely spend days here. Another park is closer to us! We will visit more.

Great park, a lot of different trail routes. If you are fond of walking you ll enjoy this parks little adventure. This park is competitively cleaned to other ones. You ll barely notice ppl walking around except weekends. Try to not to enter the park at night time. Would be dangerous due to some wildlife animals existence. You ll see small bridges hills on the way. Perfect for an positive activity.

We love how this vast area of land is being used as an ‘urban park’. Bottom line: it’s awesome to see the area being protected and being used as walking trails. It makes living in the area a … ’livable option’. We use it for slow jaunts on our gravel bikes. Do remember there are other users who have as much right to be there as ‘we’ do.
