The perfect place to spot wildlife, test your wildflower ID skills or take a Sunday stroll! This relatively easy trail showcases a new growth forest, meadow and steep bluffs of the river valleys.

It's a peaceful trail. It wasn't crowded yesterday when I went there. Be careful during the winter months because it gets icy.

Beautiful young growth forest running along the river with great foot paths to explore. Very scenic with multiple types of replanted forest forming unique zones throughout the park.

Beautiful little park that has a loop trail just over 2km long that takes you along part of the upper Rouge and through fields and forest. Was beautiful this late fall day when we had that unseasonably warm 7 days. Flat ground on the trails.

Great place close to the city to get away and reconnect with Nature. I was pleasantly surprised with the hiking trails. The trails were varied between sun and shade and actually some fairly steep inclines in some areas. Excellent day trip, just get there early on nice weekend day...

This is where the Rouge River empties into Lake Ontario. And this is where the swans, the geese, and the ducks like to congregate in the pond. Nice and peaceful; until the train passes by. But the fowl don't seem to mind. Lots of birds hang out around here too. The last vestige o...

Very lovely trail, most importantly, it crosses one of the nicest pieces of street in Toronto, plus a nice lookout tower.

Went today and trails were simultaneously both sheets of ice and muddy. But the weather was nice, and it wasn't too crowded at all.

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.

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.
