Let's take a long walk along the Waterfr💧nt Trail from the very east end of Toronto to Frenchman's Bay in Pickering, and back.

The first and last 2 km will be through a forest, the rest will be either on the sand or along the paved waterfront trail beside the beach.

Along the way we will cross a bridge over the Rouge River

This is the route we will take

  • south thru Lower Highland Creek Park
  • east along the Waterfront Trail to Frenchman's Bay
  • stop for a lunch break on a breakwater, surrounded by water.
  • retrace our hike to the starting location

Along the way there are parks with washrooms

Fun Fact from Wikipedia: "Manitoulin Island... is an island in Lake Huron, located within the borders of the Canadian
province of Ontario... With an area of 2,766 km2 (1,068 sq mi), it is the largest lake island in
the world, large enough that it has over 100 lakes itself"

it has nothing to do with this hike, but I thought it was interesting!
