Cyclist riding through a lush tree-lined trail

Toronto's Independent Trail Guide

Toronto is wilder
than it looks.

Ravines, river valleys, hidden bluffs, and urban wilderness — all reachable on two wheels. Your personal guide to the trails hiding inside this city.

Start somewhere real.

Three of my favourite rides in the city — tested in every season, written up honestly.

Sunlit tree-lined trail through a deep valley Easy
9.2 km · Paved · Year-round

Lower Don Valley Trail

The gateway ride. Flat, paved, and tucked into a ravine so deep you'd swear you left the city. Start here.

Dramatic clifftop view over open water Moderate
14.5 km · Mixed · Spring–Fall

Scarborough Bluffs Trail

The payoff view at the top is genuinely jaw-dropping. You'll climb for it — but you won't regret a single pedal stroke.

River winding through a forested valley Easy
18.1 km · Paved · Year-round

Humber River Trail

Moody in autumn. My go-to after a rough week. Long, flat, and quiet enough you can hear the river the whole way.
