Description
Please join me as we explore three of west Toronto’s most scenic green spaces. We will begin by walking through High Park. While there we'll visit the High Park Labyrinth and visit historic Colborne Lodge. From here we'll make our way down to the Martin Goodman Trail and walk west along the boardwalk to Humber Bay Park. We’ll follow the Humber Bay park trails south to Lake Ontario and enjoy a view of the Toronto skyline and surrounding lakefront. The hike will conclude at Palace Pier Park - a 10 minute bus ride to Old Mill Subway Station.
