Itinerary:

A fun and moderately-paced summer's evening walk through High Park, the Waterfront Trail, Humber Bay Park and up the Humber River Trail ending at Old Mill Subway Station.

- Starting at the PARK ENTRANCE at High Park Avenue and Bloor St, we will walk through various trails and over varied terrain(grass, gravel, road) and go at a moderately brisk pace whilst taking in great views across Grenadier Pond and Humber Bay.

- This walk is suitable for beginners and seasoned hikers alike - but please keep in mind that it will take about 2.5 - 3 hours and possibly be cooler by the lake as late evening approaches.

- This a great opportunity for old and new members of TOC - especially those in the downtown core - to meet, chat, exercise, socialize, share ideas about TOC and get some adventure right here in the city.

- We will stop by the Humber Bay Bridge to have a rest and pot luck snacks.

- Please note - START and END locations of this walk are different - starting at High Park and ending at Old Mill Subway Stn.

- Event goes ahead rain or shine!

- Lots of free parking in the park
