What is The Loop?

The Loop trail is an ALMOST complete 72km circuit of trails that includes the waterfront, Humber River, Finch Hydro Corridor, and Don River trails. Unfortunately, there are about ten small gaps that undermine the value of The Loop Trail for everyday/utilitarian, recreational, and tourism cyclists. The Loop Trail is part of the city's Ravine Strategy, although the gaps are all on roads. The Loop was first announced by the city in 2020, but there has been little progress -- until the launch of our advocacy campaign and ride in November 2025.

Subject to minor adjustments, here is our anticipated route: https://maps.app.goo.gl/97RLNh7uf4JBtw5u7
