Itinerary:

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

This D4 hike will be 20 km along a mix of gravel and paved, fairly flat paths, maintaining a pace of 5 km/h

The first and last 2km will be through a forest

Much of the hike will be along the waterfront right beside the beach, which you may want to walk on. Hopefully there will be a strong southerly wind to make big waves!!

We'll start and end on the SE corner of Lawrence Ave E. + Beechgrove Drive, Scarborough.

Please arrive before the start time, as we will start hiking promptly at the start time noted above, and I will turn off my cell phone when we start.

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
