Staying Close to Home..Doris Mcarthy Trail

Staying Close to Home..Doris Mcarthy Trail

Sun, Aug 30, 2:30 PM
From These Boots Are Made for Hiking
4.8

Location: 201 Guildwood Pkwy (The pin for the location is acting up so go by the address please!) We have been far and wide this summer from Italy to Tofino BC including the west coast trail. Now it's time to stay close to home! **Get to know the waterfront with Angie and get one of the last swims of the summer in!** Doris McCarthy Trail has beautiful views of the water and lots of wildlife. This is mostly flat except the beginning which includes a bit of a steep hill. It takes approximately 10 minutes to walk down to the lake and after that the route goes east and west along the water. Bring a bathing suit if you want to jump in - this is a perfect Sunday hike. Distance is about 13km.

Wilder Series: Secret Wilderness Hike & Swim

Wilder Series: Secret Wilderness Hike & Swim

Sat, Aug 22, 11:00 AM
From Wilderness Union Toronto - Outdoor Adventure and Hiking Club
4.7

**Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on [our website.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/ragged-rapids)** ***The Wilder Series is back! Are you up to the challenge?!*** We're heading deep into Ontario's Canadian Shield for a day on one of the province's most rugged backcountry routes. Tucked inside a little-known nature location, this trail trades manicured paths for raw granite, beaver dams, and dense forest that test both legs and navigation skills in equal measure. While only 15km, this trek and it's technical terrain are no joke. However, the payoff is incredible: raging rapids, amazing views and an incredible wilderness swim that you won't soon forget! **Secret Location** This is one of Wilderness Union's secret hikes. We visit spots that are undiscovered by the wider world, keep them pristine, and share them only among members. The location is revealed to registered members in the days before the trip. ***Please note that attendees will need a high fitness level to successfully complete this adventure. This will be a serious challenge!*** **Highlights** **True Wilderness:** Experience the Canadian shield in all of its glory! Unmanicured, untamed and unbelievably beautiful. **Beaver Dams:** Cross quiet backcountry ponds and streams along the way. **Powerful Rapids**: The Black River churns through a gorge with 20–30m cliffs. **Event cost: $60+HST (for explorer members) - $50 optional transport available.** **Register [here.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/ragged-rapids)** **About Wilderness Union** Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people. Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad.

Frequently asked questions

Meetup is a platform for finding and joining groups around shared interests, including outdoor adventures like canyoneering. Users can attend events, meet people, and explore local activities to expand their social network.

You can search on Meetup for local canyoneering groups by entering 'canyoneering' and selecting Toronto as your location. This helps you find groups hosting events or gatherings focused on exploring canyons and outdoor adventures around the city.

Absolutely, you can join as many hiking groups as you like on Meetup. This flexibility allows you to participate in various events, discover different trails, and connect with diverse groups of hiking enthusiasts.

To check for upcoming canyoneering events in Toronto, search for local groups and filter the events by date. This will show you any scheduled activities for this weekend, enabling you to RSVP and plan your adventure.

RSVPing on Meetup means you’re letting the organizer know you plan to attend an event. This helps manage group size and logistics, ensuring a smoother experience for both organizers and attendees.

Meetup offers both free and paid options. Typically, joining groups and browsing events are free, but some organizers may charge a fee for specific events to cover costs. Check individual event details for pricing info.

Yes, you can create your own event by becoming an organizer on Meetup. This allows you to set up and lead a canyoneering activity, sharing your passion and inviting other enthusiasts to join your adventure.

Meetup acts as a platform to connect enthusiasts with event hosts; it does not organize events directly. Group organizers handle event planning, so quality and frequency depend on these individuals and groups.

Indeed, depending on the group's choice, you might find both online and in-person events. This variety offers the chance to engage with the community in ways that best suit your preferences and situation.

The popularity of canyoneering in Toronto varies, but you can gauge interest by the number of active groups and events. Exploring Meetup's listings in Toronto will provide insights into how many fellow enthusiasts share this interest in the city.

Yes, Toronto has an active canyoneering community where you can join events, meet other enthusiasts, and explore the magnificent natural landscapes surrounding the city through Meetup.

Not necessarily; some groups might combine different outdoor activities depending on what the organizer plans. While the focus could be on canyoneering, other related outdoor adventures could be included in events.

Success in making connections through Meetup depends on various factors, such as personal engagement and active participation in events. While Meetup facilitates meeting people, outcomes are not guaranteed.

It depends on demand and interests within the community. While many Popular activities have active groups, some niche interests might have fewer or no groups available. Checking Meetup frequently helps find newly formed groups.

If you don't find a canyoneering group right away, consider setting up alerts for when new groups form or look into related outdoor activity groups that could offer similar experiences.
