Out & Back
A 5-kilometre paved multi-use trail beside the Don River from Pottery Road to Corktown Common. It is a vital downtown-ravine connection, but active construction and weather-related silt can affect access.
Very Toronto Tips
This is the trail that converts sceptics — the one that makes you understand why Toronto's ravine system is genuinely world-class. Start at Brick Works on a Saturday morning, grab a coffee at the market, then walk south. By the time you hit the Corktown Common splash pad, you'll have forgotten you're in a city of three million.

Getting There
