Description
This hike was originally going to be dedicated to the Highland Creek Trail but because of the trail closure at Morningside Avenue we will instead do an alternate circular hike that will return us to Guildwood Go. This is a favorite hike among former and present TBTC hike leaders with fantastic views of Lake Ontario. 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) located on the bluffs. 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.

Public washrooms at Guildwood Go and at Guild Inn, 10.4 km into our hike. A nature stop at Sylvan Park will also be available.
