Hidden Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail is a lovely, relatively easy path that runs along the West Don River, tucked into the woods of Sunnybrook Park. It’s a short, shaded loop where you’ll hear plenty of birds in the trees, and you might even spot a deer quietly passing through the foliage, especially if you’re here early in the morning or late evening. It’s a peaceful route that connects to other trails in the park, making it a great option if you want to extend your hike. It’s also a popular route for dog walkers, so you’ll likely see others with their pups enjoying the trail while you’re here.
