GO Train Hike: Unionville – Markham, Rouge River Trail

The villages of Unionville & Markham are connected by the Rouge Valley Trail System following the Rouge River and running behind the historic buildings on Main Street Unionville, by Walden Pond in Austin Drive Park, through Milne Dam Conservation Area, and ending with a 143 metre long suspension bridge over the dam. We will walk into the village of Markham and finish with a short boardwalk trail through Tannery Pond which is close to the Markham GO Station. We begin the hike at Unionville GO Station hiking north to the historic Main Street and picking up the Rouge Valley Trail at Carlton Road. Return to Toronto or the starting point by GO Train or York Region Transit bus. Optional stop at the Rouge River Craft Brewery after the hike.
Terrain is easy, mostly paved path/boardwalk with some dirt trails.
