German Mills Meadow and Natural Habitat

A very peaceful & enjoyable place for all the nature lovers.

It is an easy trail to walk around in a clean area. It would be best if you had less than an hour to finish the route. But there are a lot of spots that you can spend more time and enjoy yourself.

Very pleasant place to walking, biking and longboard.

It's lovely but I really wish there was adequate lighting in the night to make it feel safer.

Great natural trails, perfect for wildlife watching)No public washrooms

Cute little area, the bridge is currently being rebuilt which cut our walk in half but it should be rebuilt soon.

German Mills Meadow & Natural Habitat is part of the German Mills Creek system, and the East Don watershed. This natural park is an important ecosystem that supports abundance of flora and fauna, including over 70 bird species and 15 mammal species. The park is also home to amphibians and reptiles including: frogs, snapping turtles, garter snakes, and little brown snakes; several species of fish; and many varieties of insects. The large grassland on the west side of German Mills Creek provides a valuable nesting site for ground nesting birds. The vegetation in this area consists of tall and short grasses, broad-leaf plants, as well as a few scattered shrubs and trees. This provides a variety of habitats and helps to create a healthy ecosystem, which supports a diverse and abundant wildlife. German Mills Meadow & Natural Habitat is located on the former Sabiston Landfill Site which was closed and capped in 1975.

beautiful trail near Steels and Leslie. The upper part of the trail has some Poison Ivy plants so watch out for that. Nice River flows along and now is a good time to see the beautiful fall colour trees.

Nice, quiet, open space. You can occasionally spot wildlife here, such as deer, foxes, and skunks, and the trail is well-worn. Make sure to be aware of poison ivy!

Prefect place to enjoy outdoor and nature in whatever way you choose, hiking biking walking or jogging, with a company or alone.
