Upper Don Recreation Trail

Love spending time here

Easy to take a walk or ride a bicycle

Another nice piece of connecting trail that runs along the river and is well paved for walking and riding as well.

The City of Toronto often posts signs that say, No winter maintenance. Use at own risk." Well that does not deter us does it

I love early morning walks, and it is not busy. The path is clean and beautiful.

My favourite local nature trail. Beautiful trail for families and solo walkers and bikers. Surrounded by natural beauty and woodland critters. You can see the salmon run in the fall and many up close sightings of deer prancing around. It’s my favourite place right in the city but totally hidden from traffic. Good place to bird watch as well. Love!

This trail has a very high popularity among hikers, bikers, and nature lovers. Towards south, running along the Don River, it reaches Finch Avenue East and beyond. Along the way, one can sit on a bench near the river and enjoy sounds of nature. Northwards, it crosses North York Bike Trail, which runs east-west. At this point, a number of possibilities open up. You may walk in either direction on the bike trail, or continue northwards where, beyond Cummer Avenue, it merges with the Bestview Hiking Trails leading to Bestview Park. After crossing Cummer Avenue, a trail branches out towards east and goes up to Leslie Street. As you cross Leslie Street, you will find entrance to the Duncan Creek Trail, which ends at the Duncan Creek Park near Don Mills Road.Following are two views of the North York Bike Trail near the point where it crosses the Upper Don Recreation Trail.

Nice hiking in Winter too

Lovely cycling pathway
