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...

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...

Rouge National Urban Park is a wonderful park on the east side of the GTA. We visited during one of the coldest times in winter. The river froze over and many many people cleared up skating rectangles on the ice and were happily ice skating on the river. We had tons of fun. L...

Rouge National Urban Park, Twyn Rivers Day Use Area
Nestled along the Little Rouge Creek, the Twyn Rivers Day Use Area is a great place to explore the park. Three classic Rouge hikes start here: head north on either the Orchard or Vista trails or south along the Mast Trail.

Absolutely stunning and brilliant! Gorgeous green space on the edge of Scarborough. I love the water and treed areas. Definitely a must for seekers of serenity.

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 ...

Our visit was during the spring, a easy stroll through the park for all kinds of families. Many routes to chose from ranging from an hour walk to 3 hours. There are also many scenic moments that make it look different from each part of the trail (Bridges, open fields, small fores...

Vista Trail
The Vista Trail’s two-level viewing platform is one of the best places to view Toronto’s autumn colours and spectacular valley views.

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.

Rouge National Urban Park, Woodland Day Use Area
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.

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.
