Trails in the city Walk a forest trail beside a flowing creek, along grassy river banks, through ravines and along wild shores washed by the waves of Lake Ontario. You can see birds, animals, bursting wildflowers in spring and the colors of the leaves in autumn. Within easy reach of everyone living in or visiting Toronto, but unknown to many, are scenic country trails for walking, exploring, picnics and birdwatching. These paths refresh us with needed contact with nature, away from the stress of city living. Virtually minutes away from a subway station or bus stop, you can be immersed in these natural worlds. How to reach Toronto's best country walks by TTC public transit or by automobile, exploring the route, and how to get back to the subway or your car from the walk's end are fully detailed here. Using this book Each country walk is accompanied by a map for you to follow using the detailed directions in the text. Not all the streets are included on the map, just those needed to help you find your way.
