Itinerary:

So, the random hike picker selected this brand new route today.
Today's hike will include walking through a couple cemeteries that I'm unfamiliar with as well as Riverdale Farm.

This 7.5 KM hike will travel between Castle Frank & Broadview Station.

The hike will be on a combination of single track dirt trails, multi use paved park paths, sidewalks and cemetery roads.

In terms of hills, there should be 1 of 50 meters and another 3 of about 25 meters.

I will try to stop at the washroom located in Riverdale Farm, about 5.5 KM into the hike.

Post hike, if anyone's interested, I might head over to Factory Girl for some lunch and a drink if you'd like to join me.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A LATE SUBWAY OPENING UNTIL NOON ON LINE 1 BETWEEN OSGOODE & KING TODAY.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Castle Frank Subway Station is located on the Bloor Subway Line, two stops east of Yonge Station.

Let's meet at the Castle Frank Road Exit. If its cold or wet, then I'll just be inside the station doors.
That exit is the eastern exit from the platform, also the one with the escalator.
If you don't know where the eastern side of the platform is, then follow the direction of the eastbound train.

For those of you driving, Castle Frank Station is located on the north-west corner of Bloor & Castle Frank Road.

on the south side of Mackenzie Avenue, which is located one block north of Bloor, east of Castle Frank Road
or the north side of Dale Avenue, located 2 blocks north of Bloor, also east of Castle Frank Road
