Bayview Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Bayview Cycle Path is a great new addition to Toronto's public trails. The path stretches through forests, wetlands, and neighborhoods along the Don River. In summer, it can get buggy, and in spring, wildflowers line the trail. Be careful in winter, as the path can get icy and slippery.

Bridge over the Don River

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge over the Don River, parallel to Pottery Road, is separate from traffic and open only to bikers and walkers. There is a large "Look Both Ways" sign across the street, made of metal and very modern-looking.

Lower Don River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

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.

Don River Valley

Highlight • River

The Don River Valley cuts through Toronto in a surprisingly wild stretch of forested ravines, wetlands and multi-use trails just beyond the downtown core. Shaped by the Don River flowing through it, the valley is one of the city’s largest natural corridors, with paved and dirt paths passing beneath bridges, alongside marshes and through dense tree cover that feels far removed from the surrounding city.

The Distillery District

Highlight • Historical Site

Wonderfully used factory site with many small shops (also a lot of handicrafts) and restaurants. There were also a lot of interesting stands. Not just for beer and whiskey lovers.
