Humber River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Humber River Trail is a picturesque, multi-use path that traces one of Toronto’s most historic waterways, winding through parks, ravines, and stretches of quiet urban green space. Paved and mostly flat, it stretches over 20 kilometres from the lakefront at Etienne Brulé Park north to Claireville Dam, featuring multiple access points, smooth underpasses, and ample space for walking, cycling, and spotting wildlife. As part of the Toronto Carrying-Place Trail and a designated Canadian Heritage River corridor, it's the perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural history.

Humber Arboretum

Highlight • Forest

The Humber Arboretum is a beautiful 101-hectare urban green space that combines public gardens, forest trails, and wetlands within the Humber River watershed. Connected to Humber College’s North Campus, it serves as both a community nature destination and an outdoor learning environment, facilitated by a partnership with the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). Visitors can enjoy beautifully landscaped gardens, explore native plant collections, and wander through wooded ravines that support a rich diversity of wildlife throughout the year.

Humberwood Bird Flyway

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Humberwood Bird Flyway is a quiet, lightly trafficked loop near the upper Humber River, known more for its birdlife than its trail infrastructure. Though the path is unmarked and overgrown in places, it winds through a mix of wetlands and wooded edges where you might spot mallards, cardinals, red-winged blackbirds, and other seasonal migrants. It’s best visited in early spring or fall for birdwatching, and while it’s not a polished trail, it's a peaceful detour for anyone exploring the Humber River corridor.
