Toronto ravine Discovery Walks

Rated this place:

Few major cities in the world can lay claim to anything on par with the dozens of kilometers of forested trails that run through the heart of the city like green veins. Coyotes, foxes, raccoons, and the occasional white-tail deer all call the extensive ravine system home. Here bikers, joggers, and walkers of all fitness levels will all be able to put the trails to great use.The City of Toronto has outlined several great routes; all of which start and end near public transportation. Route brochures can be printed on this website: ?http://www.toronto.ca/parks/recreation_facilities/discovery_walks/discover_index.htmThe "Central Ravines, Beltline and Gardens" is the most accessible route from downtown Toronto, and takes travelers along the path of an old commuter rail road to the historic Don Valley Brick Works complex, and the sprawling Mount Pleasant Cemetery - the final resting place of several famous Prime Ministers, authors and captains of industry. For those interested in riding rather than walking, Cyclepath Toronto at 2106 Yonge St. rents bikes from 5$/hr or 25$/day. See Full Post

Greenspace, Kids toboggan hill

Rated this place:

There is nothing better than dropping down into the valley and exploring. You can be 100 feet from the parkway and feel like you are lost in the woods. The valley is full of wonderful wildlife and magical flora, and it is right in my backyard.

Some great downhills into the ravine that never fail to both thrill and scare the heck out of my boyz.

Bike trail

Rated this place:

You can go pretty far before hitting any road. It's like you've left the city. At dusk in the summer little bunnies hop all over the trails....And I hear some deer live down there too!

Don valley running path

Rated this place:

It's an amazing run through the heart of the city, amongst trees and greenery. The DVP running path is an excellent way to clear your mind after a long day at work.
