City Walk - To the Jail Then the Trail (05 Nov 2026)

Thu, 05 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Today, Patsy will lead us on a 6 Km loop from Broadview Station to the Don Jail and back. Meet at about 10 AM in front of Broadview station. The walk will begin at 10:10 AM sharp.

The route goes south from Broadview subway station. First stop is at the Withrow Ave burial site for an update on what has happened in the past few months. Then we will visit the Don Jail for a free (donations accepted) self-guided tour (30 min) and a washroom stop. At the Don Jail there are elevators to access the various floors, so it is not necessary to climb stairs.

The group will then walk down to the lower Don trail in Riverdale Park. We will walk north on the trail to Pottery Road and east up the hill to Broadview, then return to start by walking south on Broadview to Danforth Avenue. At the end, there are several lunch options nearby, including the Broadview Diner.

There are no washrooms at the start/finish, but there is a public washroom in the Bloor Station, which may be convenient for some who are using the subway. Also, there is a washroom at Withrow Park, about 1.2 Km from the start/finish.

The RwGPS route is https://ridewithgps.com/routes/57624839.

When this entry was last updated there were no scheduled subway outages for this date, but please check https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/subway-service#e=0 in case there are any changes.

We have introduced a 30-Day-Trial membership class which allows "guests" to participate in most activities over the span of a 1-month period. We are accepting Guest registrations.

Fall Hiking Glen Major Forest/Brock Tract 13 km 9 AM START (08 Nov 2026)

Sun, 08 Nov 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Glen Major Forest/Brock Tract Loop

The Glen Major Forest is more than 3700 acres of land located on the Oak Ridges Moraine in the headwaters of the Duffins Creek Watershed. This area consists of mixed coniferous/ deciduous forests and a gravel pit once operated in the Glen Major site and is currently being restored. The remainder of the property complex was previously used for agriculture and contains a variety of habitat including forest, meadows and wetlands. Old farm roads and farm building foundations are still visible. This hike has lots of elevation changes and I think that most hikers will find the forest quite beautiful but strenuous. It is a hike worth doing.

Distance: 13 km

Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38184572

Pace: Moderate (~3.5 km/hr)

Terrain: Moderate - rocky with hills and/or poor footing.

Directions: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Brock+Tract/@44.0027418,-79.128982,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89d525dd7de51f9d:0xa55b051d89412d81!8m2!3d43.9998587!4d-79.1280305

This is a smaller free parking lot that may be difficult to see from Brock Road. It looks like a farmers lane so be on the lookout for it. We are using this because the lot we usually use now has pay parking.

Parking is at a premium so please do not be late and find yourself scrambling for a parking spot.

NOTE: 9 AM START TIME.

Please Register - Only REGISTRANTS are permitted to participate in this event.

Fall Hiking Smokey Hollow Falls - 12 km (15 Nov 2026)

Sun, 15 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Smokey Hollow Falls is the majestic center point of a group of trails with plenty of variety and changes of elevation. It is not too difficult and is just the hike for early in the TBN Fall Hiking season. Sadly a lot of the leaves have already fallen from the trees but it is still beautiful and of course we have the Falls. It may be busy at the Falls especially if it is a nice day but we will be spending most of our time on the Bruce Trail so the crowds should not be too bad.

Fall Hiking Forks of the Credit 12 km (22 Nov 2026)

Sun, 22 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

FALL/WINTER HIKING

The Forks of the Credit is a part of the Bruce Trail and also the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere. The hike starts at the junction of Mississauga Road and the Elora Cataract Rail Trail. There had been a mill in the Cataract area since 1820 and in 1885 John Deagle bought the mill and converted it into a hydro generating station which was later purchased by Ontario Hydro and eventually shut down in 1947. The area was also the source of Credit Valley sandstone which was used in the construction of various large buildings like Queen's Park and the Old City Hall. This area is predominantly used by hikers and mountain bikers and there are lots of elevation changes and intersecting trails. It can be a challenging area in the winter so icers are required and hiking poles are recommended

Distance: 12 km

Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38153913

Pace: Moderate (~3.5 km/hr)

Terrain: Moderate - rocky with hills and/or poor footing. Depending on the weather poles or icers will be needed.

Directions: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Mississauga+Rd+%2526+Elora-Cataract+Trailway,+Caledon,+ON+L7K+1M9/@43.819616,-80.0406903,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x882b061fcbcc47ed:0xa013b1ea841ca63d!8m2!3d43.8131338!4d-80.0286332
