East Don Parklands

Highlight • Trail

This lovely stretch of trail follows the Don River. There are lots of places to fish or set up an impromptu picnic on the shore of the river, and forget you are in the city.

Don River Valley

Highlight • River

The Don River Valley cuts through Toronto in a surprisingly wild stretch of forested ravines, wetlands and multi-use trails just beyond the downtown core. Shaped by the Don River flowing through it, the valley is one of the city’s largest natural corridors, with paved and dirt paths passing beneath bridges, alongside marshes and through dense tree cover that feels far removed from the surrounding city.

Toronto Inukshuk

Highlight • Monument

Standing 30 feet tall with a 15-foot arm span, the Toronto Inukshuk was built from about 50 tonnes of mountain rose granite by Inuit artist Kellypalik Qimirpik of Cape Dorset, Nunavut. Created in 2002 as a legacy project commemorating World Youth Day and the visit of Pope John Paul II, it’s one of the largest structures of its kind in North America. Sitting just west of Coronation Park in what’s now known as Toronto Inukshuk Park, it looks out across Lake Ontario and the harbour. There is a granite slab beside it that includes part of then-mayor Mel Lastman’s unveiling speech, describing the Inukshuk as an invitation to “become beacons of light and hope, striving for justice and peace in this world.”

Sunnyside Pool

Highlight • Rest Area

This large outdoor pool is extremely popular with Torontonians. You may have to line up for a bit to get in (lifeguards control the numbers so it doesn't get dangerously crowded), but often the line moves faster than you'd expect. It's a great place to stop for a swim after a hot bike ride! Of course, there's always the nearby beach as well.

Humber Bay Arch Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This gorgeous pedestrian/bike bridge is part of the Martin Goodman Trail along Toronto's lakeshore. It's a popular place for people to stop and take photos, and just hang out for a while enjoying the view.

Humber River Rail Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This historic rail bridge spans the Humber River with high steel arches and a classic railway design. It adds a striking feature to the landscape and is a great photo stop along the river trails. From the viewpoint below, you can see trains crossing above while the river flows quietly underneath, creating a nice contrast between nature and engineering. The viewpoint has wooden benches from where you can stop for a moment and observe.
