Itinerary:

So, I've randomly picked this hike out of my personal hiking database.

This 7 KM hike will both start and finish at Old Mill Station

PACE: We'll aim for a pace of 4-5 km/h

The hike will be on a combination of paved park roads / paths and some single track dirt trails.

In terms of hills, we'll have two short 25 meter climbs along paved roads.
We'll have a bit of tough decent, going down a dirt single track trail into Humber, a little over halfway through the hike.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the Lambton Arena about 45 minutes into the hike.

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'here from Amazon'.

    There's a free parking lot in Kings Mill Park North located at 21 Old Mill Road, which is just north of Bloor.
