Check before you go
The paved route is usable year-round. Conditions and river levels can change after storms; check the official City page before a long connected walk.
Surface
Paved
Type
Out & Back
A paved, year-round route through quiet East Don meadows and ravine canopy, best known for the colourful Rainbow Tunnel beneath the railway. It is an easy way into the Don trail system and can be extended north or south along the river.
Very Toronto Tips
The Rainbow Tunnel gets the photos, but the changing landscape is the reason to walk this one: open hydro meadow, shady river valley, then the East Don connections. It is especially good when you want ravine scenery without technical footing.
