The best MTB trails in Ontario

This multi-use trail can be used to make a nice loop around Sunnybrook Park or taken as an out and back to Wilket Creek. Alternatively, you can connect to other city trails and take your adventure further afield.

This bridge over the Don River, parallel to Pottery Road, is separate from traffic and open only to bikers and walkers. There is a large "Look Both Ways" sign across the street, made of metal and very modern-looking.

The Bayview Cycle Path is a great new addition to Toronto's public trails. The path stretches through forests, wetlands, and neighborhoods along the Don River. In summer, it can get buggy, and in spring, wildflowers line the trail. Be careful in winter, as the path can get icy and slippery.

Running through the centre of Toronto, Don River Valley Park is one of the city’s most significant green corridors. The Don Valley Rail Trail follows the western side of the valley, threading through forests, wetlands, and restored natural areas that offer a real break from the urban grid above. It’s also a key north–south link in Toronto’s trail network, used daily by commuters, cyclists, and runners moving between neighbourhoods. With its mix of nature, heritage, and connectivity, this park plays a major role in how the city experiences outdoor space.

Sunnybrook Park is one of Toronto’s largest urban green spaces, with over 60 hectares of forest, meadows, and multi-use trails in the heart of the city. Once the site of the Kilgour family’s Sunnybrook Farm, the land was donated to the town in 1928 and now features sports fields, picnic areas, off-leash dog areas, and Sunnybrook Stables. It connects to the Don Valley trail network and nearby Edwards Gardens, and is a favourite spot for walkers, cyclists, and families to enjoy Toronto’s natural corridors.

This trail is a lovely, relatively easy path that runs along the West Don River, tucked into the woods of Sunnybrook Park. It’s a short, shaded loop where you’ll hear plenty of birds in the trees, and you might even spot a deer quietly passing through the foliage, especially if you’re here early in the morning or late evening. It’s a peaceful route that connects to other trails in the park, making it a great option if you want to extend your hike. It’s also a popular route for dog walkers, so you’ll likely see others with their pups enjoying the trail while you’re here.

Mount Pleasant Cemetery Memorial Gardens and Pond is a peaceful, park-like area within Toronto’s historic Mount Pleasant Cemetery. The gardens feature winding paths, manicured lawns, and a reflective pond surrounded by mature trees and seasonal flowers. It’s a lovely place to pause and enjoy a quiet moment in the heart of the city.
