👍👍 I enjoyed this part of the park. The trail is fairly easy with some moderate inclines. There are also muddy patches along the way. There are various points at which you can see the river. You have to cross the road to access different trails. Overall a very lovely space.

👍👍 Chasing the tail of the fall, leaves were mostly on the ground now. Hiked the red and yellow trails, about 4km. It was lightly rainy, the walk was pleasant.

Humber River Recreational Trail

👍👍 We recently moved to the area and this is one of the first trails we checked out! It's long and peaceful, well still close to the city. You can sneak off the path to grab lunch or set yourself up with a picnic. My favourite part is that it's great for walking, running, biking, rollerblading, and ska...

👍👍 This is a beautiful walk to enjoy the changing trees and to see nature. I often visit this trail when looking for an outdoor walk. I have seen rabbits and all kinds of birds. The bridges along the path make the walk interesting. The path is paved with dirt paths connecting along the way. A choose yo...

Plenty of parking in all different locations of this interconnected trails system. Also very safe as there's people, but at t...

Upper Don Recreation Trail

👍👍 Checked this trail out for the first time and really enjoyed it. Was pretty quiet. You don't hear the water as its pretty slow moving. The trees were changing colors beautifully. I was both walking and skateboarding the path. It's not the smoothest or cleanest for a skateboard with small hard wheels...

👍 There is no parking lot at either the Scout Tract or the Mitchell Tract, had to park along the McCowan. Started from the Mitchell first, it was a pretty short loop. Then crossed the McCowan to walk the Scout. At the west end of the loop, there are a couple ponds. Both trails were pretty easy. The to...
