Humber Bay Park (East and West)

Humber Bay Park East is right on the Toronto waterfront. As you walk here you can see Lake Ontario, the mouth of the Mimico Creek, and views to the city.






Humber Bay Park West is located across the bridge over the Mimico Creek.  This is where the boat launches are as well as the historic lighthouse





East Park - The trails are either paved or gravel but there are some narrow earth trails allow you to take exploratory side trips to get even closer to nature.
West Park - the trails are mostly the make your own kind as you stoll along the grassy picnic areas.


there is a great map of the area at http://www.waterfronttrail.org/maps/wt-2_10.pdf
and taking a copy with you is a good idea if you are not familiar with the area.
