Description
Come and enjoy the last of the Fall colors with fantastic views of Lake Ontario from the Bluffs. From Guildwood Go we will head South to Guild Park boardwalk and then turn West to pick up two parks, South Marine Park & Sylvan Park (our lunch spot). Connecting with the Doris McCarthy trail we will descend to the lake and then head East as far as Guild Park and Gardens completing the loop before returning to Guildwood Go. This is a flat hike except for a descent along a side trail from Sylvan Park and the climb from the lake to the top of the Bluffs at Guild Park towards the end of the hike. Hikers taking the TTC can also take advantage of an early drop out once we arrive at Guild Park at approx. 1:30 pm.
