An excellent trail to walk/bike/run and enjoy a beautiful part of the City.
Excellent relaxing hike .
The peaceful and inspiratuonal wonder of Toronto! @pingotg
A great place to hike
My cousin took me and my wife here for a nice, leisurely hike. Twas a beautiful place and would probably be more breathtaking as the fall season progresses.
Its a nice place for walking, not good for bicycle as it has lots of rocks and ups and downs. Good for family as i saw many families and schools coming for the hiking spot…
Over all i found it great

I LOVE THIS PLACE !
Very nice park and hike trail.
Nice and scenic place within 30 minutes of Toronto. We primarily went for fishing and walking trails. Link to the lake is beautiful.
Small area for fishing but there are opportunities to catch. But it gets crowded quick and then the lines are going crossing each other. We ended up moving to northern side of the rouge river and that worked out better.

Beautiful trail for biking. Highly recommend getting your own bike for these trails. I used the city share bike. It gets challenging when riding uphill.
The trail has multiple pitstops with restrooms.

This trail is a must try if you live nearby, also good for biking and hiking or taking your furry friend for a walk.
Hands down best place in the city to enjoy a full summer sunset over the Toronto skyline! Many hidden gems off the beaten path to explore the waters edge… go find your spot!
During the pandemic, I almost went there every day to ride my bicycle, go fishing, take a walk, and enjoy the scenery. It’s like a treasure in downtown for me. It’s inconvenient to use the restroom when you go deep inside the park. Pets are not allowed, which was good for my daughter who is afraid of big dogs.
It was a beautiful hike but got too many mosquito bites yikes! There's a different path for bikers too which I regret not taking. There's just so much to explore. We got lost in our path many times. Used Google maps to find our way back lol. Overall I had a fun time with friends.
Such a forest and freshing trail adjacent to nice Park was discovered when visiting Sunnybrook Hospital. , the spot is secured,
and feel free to park.

The biking trails are at the northern end of the park located at 16th Av & Reesor is one of the starting points. Good trail, hard packed small gravel. Not overly long in distance. Very serene surroundings near area farms. The trail meanders thru a few farms in the area.
Well maintained trails and a beautiful place for a short walk or longer hike. We've seen toads, dragonflies, snakes and all sorts of birds here, and you can see spawning salmon in October. Great place for a family hike.
The parking lot of Twyn Rivers Drive is free and there is an outhouse of you need it.

A great place for a long(!) walk in Toronto. Such a nice escape from the city and filled with picturesque wildlife. Lots of bikers and runners there too.
If you’re a pet parent, be aware that there are no dogs allowed in the park.

This is currently my favourite place to go hiking. I’ve only been here twice but I love this place. You can get away from all the noise around you and fully enjoy nature, hearing the sounds of birds and the flow of water. I only ever entered from the side close to the Toronto zoo. It’s a true get away as they’re no picnic tables on that side, only a couple benches here and there.
please respect this conversation area, pick up your trash, respect wildlife, and stay on the trail.
incredible park to get some of the best views of the city while surrounded by nature. extremely thankful the city is investing in preserving this area for Toronto’s wildlife. It’s a great spot to go for a walk, run or cycle. There are no toilets nor garbage bins to plan ahead. There are poisonous plants if you step outside the trail, so watch out for yourself and if you’re visiting with kids, keep an eye on them. And again, pick up after yourself and respect the signage this is a nature reserve as well.
I’d be careful at night as it’s a popular spot for people to come for a smoke or a drink.

This is a lovely place for a walk. There are a few different trails you can take. We visited in June and parked at the southern parking lot. I was expecting to have to pay for parking but I didn’t see where to pay. We took the Vista Trail and came back via the Orchard Trail. It was nice to see some parts of the trails that have been renovated. We will definitely be back.

A nice long trail with views of the city.
Expect to spend at least 30 minutes here by bike and well over an hour by walking.
Bike parking and car parking for about 50 at the entrance.
Rental bikes also available.
Washrooms available at the entrance.

Get ready to conquer the Lower Don Recreation Trail in Toronto because this city park is the ultimate biking and hiking hotspot. It's not just good, it's like winning the lottery good. So pack your gear, grab your squad, and let's hit the trails like the boss adventurers we are.
Biked here on a Tuesday evening (open to the public at 4pm I believe), and it wasn’t very busy — plenty of room to move. The bugs weren’t too bad for the end of May; it was a sunny day. Simple path in and out with lots of little foot trails here and there. You are only permitted to ride on the main paved sections, with a gravel path at the end near the lighthouse, so if you are cycling, this is a fairly easy route. The pavement is bumpy in places though, so do mind where you put your attention. It is quite serene here — a gem of ride or hike with views of the downtown skyline. Great jaunt away from the hustle and bustle. There is a parking lot at the beginning of the park, quite easy to get to; a water fountain to fill your bottle and all different types of birds for those who keep track of such things. 🙂 Will definitely be riding here again soon.
One of the best parks in the Toronto area, this park offers a fantastic biking and walking trail with a focus on wildlife conservation. You'll have the opportunity to spot a wide variety of birds, reptiles, and fish. The park staff is incredibly knowledgeable and can provide valuable insights. It's worth noting that there are several poisonous plants in the park, so exercise caution and stick to the designated trail—avoid taking shortcuts.
Great place to visit! Stay away when it's icey outside or lots of rain and high winds in the forecast. Beautiful in the spring, summer and fall. Lots of good paths and beautiful views.
Great little trail, I go here often to clear my mind and enjoy the weather. It can be a bit tricky during the winter and doesn’t have much lighting at night but it’s safe otherwise.
Went there in April. Maybe better during late Spring or early Summer. Took us an hour to walk from the entrance to the light house. I think it's great for bikers and bird watching. Bring water and be sun protected.
Best trail for snow hiking in winters
This trail has become part of my daily routine. The beauty and tranquility of this place in different times of the day and in various seasons is truly amazing. It's unfortunate that this hidden gem is underrated on Google maps and needs more recommendations. Cheers!
Lots of parking lots. Very nice people to play ping pong with but too many levels playing...
East Point Park is a beautiful coastal park on the edge of the Scarborough Bluffs. The park is a Bird sanctuary and has access to the water below. A lovely place to spend the day.
Frolicks galore
Amazing walk, beautiful in fall
Great for jog or peaceful bike ride
The details are in the name of this particular area of Tdot
Incredible park. So peaceful
Limited parking but great walking trails
Great walk to see the history of the don river and its noisy neighbour.
Have been there twice or three times. The hiking trail is a real adventure with scenic perspectives! Better to be in a team with an expert leader or having the map of trail with yourself. Plenty of lakes/river there might have mosquitos during summer, so be prepared for them!
Great mini hike for you and your pups! Will return often. Parking may be limited at this location but there's a lot of parking spots available nearby on the grounds.
Lovely area to go for a adventure. Unique experance, lots of friendly people. Tons of fun, hands on physical contact sports. Scenic trails with unexpected encounters and surprises! What's not to love? Day or night this place is the place to be in the summer. More suited to experienced adult hikers who know how to handle hard trails through thick bush. There are hidden surprises that could impale unsuspecting and inexperienced visitors. The area is built on reclaimed land and low-quality fill was dumped here. Resulting in some tricky terrain. I would really discourage anyone under 18 from venturing on these trails. It's just not safe, way to many hazards, holes and other dangers
Excellent place to go for a bike ride or a walk. Toronto Ontario Canada. By. The lake. Shore. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Free parking, near the river and bridge to esses the Sunnybrook park
Beautiful place to take a stroll❤️
Love it. Except the potholes in the driveway. I almost lost my Tesla in one.
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. But there are some medium size hills that were fun to bomb down. Overall its a chill and picturesque trail for walking, biking and even some skateboarding.
Thus is a serene walk early on an Autumn morning. It is incomparable to any other trail in Toronto.
This park which forms an extension of an amazing trail which I started from Hudson is a wonderful treat nestled within the bustling city.
So much greatness to see especially during fall with the cooler temps and changing colours.
Ride, walk or jog it offers delightful sensory stimulation and a welcome breath of fresh air with so much to see.
Loved to habitat ponds as well.

Very nice trail for biking. we parked the car and rode down to the lower don river trail. The trail is very flat not many upslopes. This trail is good for me as amateur rider. There are signs that riders cannot go over 20km. Along there are a lot of nice views for photo. This trail is good for walking. Good for people with kids too.
Great hike and close to bike trails. Feels like you're far away from the busy city
Beautiful little park with a little bit of everything. Lots of water lilies, turtles and fish in the pond, saw a blue heron as well. Lookput points offer great views of the city. Trails are not long but are very well maintained.
Good side trails
That was a great trail of ups and downs (and switchbacks). Really enjoyed it - there were times that I forgot that I was in the City.
We went for a 2 hour hike on a fall day and it was lovely. You are right in the heart of the city, but still surrounded by trees and walking next to the river. Great for biking or walking.
Absolutely amazing park. The trails here are gorgeous and the maintenance is done well. Lookout for secret off trails where you can and bike through the forest.
Great parking spot for the Don Valley mountain bike trails
Concrete trail alongside the Don River. Pretty popular spot as the parking lot was full and the paths had lots of people on them. There are lots of cyclists whizzing by so be careful if you're bringing small children. Every once in a while you'll find a path that leads off the main path for a little extra exploring, but it's nice even sticking to the main path. A pleasant walk with sun and shade.
Beautiful trail..however watch out for ticks if you have a dog! We walked our dog there at the end of October and she ended up having many ticks. She was on her leash too and was not in the brush.
Nicely paved and well marked walking trails. Great spot to see Fall colours as well in October. Very peaceful and quiet on weekdays especially.
There’s an information centre at the entrance with helpful staff. We did the Vista Trail and it was a lovely and very quiet trail. There is a observation deck with views into the forest below. The beginning of the trail is not very well covered so it can get hot if it’s a sunny summer day.
Welcome To The Beare Wetlands
I was on a group hiking tour today along the Orchard Trail out in the Twyn Rivers area and during the walk we stopped by the Beare Wetlands.
I tried to take pictures of the snapping turtles, but I am Not even sure if I saw them or Not!
I want to personally Thank the Toronto Region Conservation Authority for hosting a Very Nice Hike Today back on Sunday, August 5, 2018.

A not so challenging area to get around in terms of hiking, but it definitely doesn't take away from it's natural scenery! Lots of different areas to walk through and check out, and saw many people with their dogs & families which is always lovely to see!
Beautiful park with trails along a very pretty creek. Geocaching too!
Wheelchair accessible portapotties, lots of parking, great vistas, quiet forest 🌳 and varied forests. The only drawback is the highway is close, you definitely hear it and the loop is closed so you need to track back. Other than that it's witchy and wonderful.
