10 Hiking Trails in Toronto That You Shouldn't Miss

January 19, 2022 Rosalyn Ihle

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Martin Goodman Trail

Reviewed By GWToronto - Toronto, Canada

If you don’t have a bike you can rent one from Bike Share Toronto (See website for locations) and join the Martin Goodman Trail (download map from website) bike path at the Harbourfront. Proceed east on the bike path to Cherry Street then south to Cherry Beach (Note: Bike Share has a location here as well+ there is a Food Truck here.) Keep heading east on the bike path then the shoulder of Unwin Ave. to rejoin the path at the Leslie Spit. Here you have a choice to go south onto the Spit (which is a nature preserve) or head north on the bike path along Leslie St. to Lakeshore Blvd where there are fast food and coffee places) Note: if you have time to ride the Spit it is well worth it. Follow the bike path east through Ashbridges Bay and along side the Beach’s boardwalk through the various Beaches parks to Balmy Beach where the bike path/trail continues On Road. Note: There is food/drink at various locations in the beaches parks alongside the bike path (see review: “Beaches and Cream” and you can return your bike to one of the beaches Bike Share locations and make the return trip by the Queen St. Streetcar (#501) or return by bike.

Waterfront Trail : 1000 Islands

Reviewed By 968shelbya - Cedar Rapids, United States

I wish we could've stayed longer here. This is such a nice trail along Lake Ontario. The weather was perfect as well as the scenery. The only thing missing was my dog. I saw lots of people riding bikes and scooters along with those walking and jogging.

What a great way to spend a morning. Lovely flat walk with trees and lovely people along the way. My husband and I enjoyed a lovely walk from Yonge (Davisville) to Allen Road and then walked along Eglington back to Yonge.Drung the last visit we went along the Beltline Trail to the east. Get walk as well.

Rouge National Urban Park

Reviewed By JanL126 - Toronto, Canada

Lots of nice trails and places to explore the Rouge River and Little Rouge Creek. We even saw MANY crayfish in the Rouge. The Cedar trail is nice but the part closer to the Meadowvale trailhead is better because it's more shaded. The half of the trail closer to the Pearse House (where you can park) is mostly in the full sun. Along the Vista trail, there's a wooden lookout tower with 2 different platforms for viewing the Rouge River.

So close to downtown Toronto yet you feel like you are miles away. So tranquil and and easy walk through fields, grasses, meadows and over bridges.
