    This is one of my favourite trails to go through in Toronto. It's easily accessible by transit, but once you're in the woods, you quickly forget the city. There are a couple of beautiful spots to sit and relax. There is also an area with several slopes to have some fun on your bike as well. Just pay attention for cyclists and understand that we're all sharing the trail. They go pretty fast here but they also generally try to slow down for people walking. There are parts of the trail that is just barely wide enough for one person.

    Great trails for not too fit people to enjoy some time outdoors in nature. A lot of people mentioned this but there are many mountain bikes that share the trails, so do be mindful of that and you won’t have any surprises! There was quite a bit of fungi growing along the trail when we visited in mid-October, which was interesting to see and not pick. If I was more knowledgeable, maybe I’d choose to come here to forage!

    Beautiful trailhead hidden away in the busy city. The trees turn amber in late october and the forest turns golden. Saw a very healthy deer as well.

    Used to be a landfill in the 50’s but now is a very nice trail with alot of hard works from a very committed group of super volunteers (including myself) from Dont Mess With the Don

    Great mountain bike trail in the city. Often very busy with cyclists. Not the best for walking with dogs, it’s not an off leash park and it is a designated mountain bike trail. The two are not particularly compatible activities. Don’t go if it has rained a lot, the city closes the trail when it’s really wet because the trail is mostly clay and becomes extremely slippery and potentially dangerous.

    Great for hiking solo or running, best for biking. Definitely not for strollers. Narrow trails all the time. Muddy after a rain fall. Constant ups and downs. I heard a wildlife in the bushes but didn't face it. I parked my car by the Loblaws. No need for tickets, access for free.

    first and last visit here. trails are good for the people in the city but they don't come close to anything in the GTA. Trails are narrow and steep, few sections are fun but there's not much else after one lap around the loop. You are reminded of the city when you pass by the treatment center and the foul smell of sewage. watch out for unleashed dogs and their owners too.

    Beautiful trails in dense forest, right in the middle of the city. The trails are a bit narrow, and are also shared by bikes, so bit careful. A bonus: abandoned railway track.

  • 5/5 Vince D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great trail to walk. No direct access to Mud Creek because the Don River and Bayview Ave divide the two.

  • 5/5 Van L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great trailhead for riding the Don. Lots of parking and close to a Loblaws for food and beer.

    Amazing trailhead for hiking . Nice view and close to grocery shop. I can see this is the best place you have to visit it.

Most of the history of this place, one will find on YouTube since it’s very difficult to explain in my simple language. I know for sure that the materials they used to build this...
