So, there's a couple paths along the Newtonbrook Creek that I haven't walked on before and would like to try them out.
This 8 KM hike will travel between Finch Station & Bessarion Station.
PACE: We'll aim for a pace of 4- 5 km/h
The hike will be on a combination grassy trails, multi use trails, neighbourhood sidewalks and single track dirt trails.
In terms of climb, I think there are about 4
that will
test you.
There are also a few tricky downhills as well.
I'll attempt to stop for a washroom at the Bayview Arena located about 3.5 KM into the hike. Hopefully, its open.
However, there is one located in the Finch Go
Terminal beside the start of the hike.
Also,
its
pretty easy
to sneak into the MEC to use their washrooms at
the
end of 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'.

So, we'll meet outside the
Finch Go Bus Terminal
on the N.E. corner of Yonge &
Bishop/Hendon.
If it's cold or wet, then I'll just be inside the GO Bus terminal.
For those traveling from the
subway:
- exit the subway where
the ticket booth is
on the concourse level,
- turn right follow the
path down past the
Tim Hortons,
- then you can take a
right at either the
first staircase or the first
escalator to get out to
the N.E. corner / Finch Go Bus
Terminal.
Also, you can just follow the
signs for the GO
Bus Terminal, whichever is
easiest.
For those of you driving, the
N.E. corner of
Hendon / Bishop is located one
traffic light north of
Finch.
The entrance to the TTC
parking lot is located
one further traffic light north on
the east side.
Look for me in the BLUE Toronto Outdoor Club shirt.
