Out & Back

A 3.5-kilometre paved trail connecting Edwards Gardens to Sunnybrook Park through a lush ravine valley. The wide, flat path follows Wilket Creek under a thick forest canopy, making it one of the most accessible and scenic ravine walks in midtown Toronto. The route passes through Edwards Gardens' free botanical displays before entering the wilder ravine sections.

Very Toronto Tips

Start at Edwards Gardens if you want a proper 'wow' entrance — the rock gardens and perennial borders in summer are genuinely beautiful, and then you descend into the ravine and it's a completely different world. The trail connects to Sunnybrook Park where you can loop back, making it a perfect 7 km round trip.
