Description
Join me in one of a series of weekday morning urban hikes in Toronto. We will hike part of Taylor Creek Park towards the Forks Of The Don and then explore the newly opened trail connection on the East Don taking us north to Eglinton (Sloane Station on Line 5) It is a paved path which opened July 13th. This is Phase 1 of the trail which will eventually connect the trail to the Gatineau Hydro Corridor (The MeadowWay), Wigmore Park, Moccasin Trail Park, and the East Don Trail to Lawrence. If you would like to join us for lunch (optional) the Best Hakka Chinese Restaurant (https://besthakka.ca/c/lunch-special/) is at the end of the route. This is a repeat of the July 21st hike for those that missed it because of the forecast of thunder storms.
