Itinerary:

So today's urban hike will be going from Queen's Quay in the south of Toronto to Playter Estates at Chester Station via the Don Trail & Corktown Commons.

This hike will be approximately 10.5 km, primarily walking along paved trails.

As you can tell by my elevation map, this hike is pretty much flat except for the hill up pottery road right at the end.

There isn't a washroom close to the start of the hike, but we'll stop at Sherboune Commons just about 1.5 KM into the hike - Maybe 15-20 minutes or so.

Also please note that Line 1 (Yonge) is closed between St. Clair and Lawrence this weekend.
