🌿🚶♂️ NEW TRAIL! EAST DON TRAIL ADVENTURE 🍪🥾
🌿🚶♂️ NEW! EAST DON TRAIL ADVENTURE 🍪🥾 Toronto's Newest Ravine Trail, Riverside Views & Fresh-Baked Cookies Have you walked Toronto's newest trail yet? Join us as we explore the recently completed East Don Trail—one of the city's newest and most exciting additions to Toronto's incredible ravine system. Connecting communities that were once separated, this beautiful trail follows the East Don River through peaceful forests, wetlands, and scenic valley landscapes that many Torontonians have never experienced. If you've done the Lower Don Trail, this is a completely different experience. Think quieter trails, beautiful river views, brand-new pathways, and the feeling of discovering somewhere new. Most of the route is paved and easy to walk, making it perfect for a relaxed day outdoors. Just one warning... what goes down must come up! 😄 The final section includes one fairly steep hill, so while the walk is suitable for most people, you should be comfortable tackling a good climb at the end. After the walk, we'll reward ourselves with a stop at Peak Freans Cookie Outlet, where you can stock up on discounted cookies and treats. Those who would like to continue are welcome to join us afterward for lunch at Swiss Chalet. 📲 Join Our WhatsApp Group: Click here to join 🚶♂️ What We'll Do We'll begin at Broadview Station before making our way into the Don Valley to explore Toronto's newest trail. Along the way we'll: 🌿 Walk beside the East Don River 🌉 Cross new bridges and pathways 📸 Enjoy beautiful ravine scenery 🍪 Stop at the Peak Freans Cookie Outlet 🍽️ Finish with an optional lunch at Swiss Chalet 🚌 Return to Coxwell Subway Station by TTC bus. Please note that this is a one-way walk. We will not return to Broadview Station. ☀️ Weather & Expectations This walk happens rain or shine unless severe weather makes it unsafe.
