Highland Creek Trail follows the wooded valley of Highland Creek through east Toronto, connecting parks, ravines, and quiet green spaces as it winds toward Lake Ontario. The mostly paved multi-use trail passes through forested sections, alongside the creek, and under bridges, with opportunities to spot wildlife including deer, salmon during the fall run, and a variety of birds along the water. The long stretches feel surprisingly peaceful for an urban trail, with shaded paths and a natural corridor that makes it easy to settle into a longer walk or bike ride.

This is a leafy, creekside trail that follows Highland Creek through a long stretch of green space. The path is fully paved, though a few sections are a bit worn, making it an easy and comfortable walk overall. The mix of trees, open bends in the creek, and quiet pockets of nature creates a surprisingly peaceful escape, with wildlife sightings possible along the way.
