Absolutely beautiful look out. Its a great spot to bring your family for a little picnic. There is a massive park below the Vista, which has a lot of trails to walk. It's definitely worth a visit, it may be one of the nicest parks in Scarborough.

Mast Trail

This classic Rouge Valley hike features excellent examples of rare Carolinian ecosystems while traversing a 200-year-old former logging route where pine trees were cut and floated down the river, eventually bound for ship building yards in Europe.

The trail is super pretty! Lots to see and take in. Had a decent amount of incline spread throughout. Only downfall is that there isn’t very much signage so you have no idea which way to go at the many forks or how long you have left of the trail. Just have to guess or use the ...

Nice hike. Would go again. Tip: cover your skin (long sleeves, cover your legs, etc.) Much of the trail has a warning for ticks if you go off the trail.

There's a parking lot here. Usually busy on the weekends and holidays so people tend to park on the roadside instead just be aware that parking enforcement does come around from time to time here and hand out tickets. There's a few trails that runs through this spot that follows ...

Beautiful walk. Wonderful sandy beaches for the children make it an excellent, inexpensive way to pass the time. Keep in mind that the air is always colder at the lake (think 5-10c colder than the city). Dog walkers, kindly get your animals on tighter leashes, it's not fair to us...

We visited the Rouge Beach Park section on the waterfront (Lake Ontario) where you can join the Waterfront Trail and walk to your hearts content. Lots of geese of course, but also numerous other waterfowl such as Bufflehead ducks. If you are able, highly recommend a sunrise vis...
