Running alongside the Don River, the Lower Don River Trail is one of Toronto’s busiest multi use corridors for walkers, runners and cyclists, connecting Corktown Common with the Don Valley trail network further north. Despite sitting beside rail lines and the Don Valley Parkway, the route still passes pockets of marshland, riverside forest and surprisingly quiet stretches beneath major city bridges. The paved trail is mostly flat and easy to follow, with several access points from Riverdale Park, Pottery Road and downtown Toronto. Expect a busy atmosphere on weekends, especially in warmer months.
