🍂 Fall Walk: Rouge National Urban Park and Picnic🌳
Details
🍂 Fall Walk: Rouge National Urban Park 🌳
Rouge National Urban Park is Canada’s only urban national park — and one of the most popular hikes we do! It’s also the only true hiking trail in Toronto that you can reach by TTC. Once you’re on the trail, you’ll forget you’re still in the city. Rolling hills, peaceful forest paths, and the best leaf-changing views in Toronto make this hike unforgettable.
This trail can be a bit challenging (with some ups and downs), so it may not be the best choice for beginners. But if you’re up for it, you’ll feel proud of yourself at the end — and you’ll have shared the experience with a great group of people.
After the hike, we’ll enjoy a group picnic (30–40 mins). Please bring something small to share — nothing too big so it’s easy to carry! 🥪🍎
