Mimico Creek Trail +++

Trail length:  there and back about 2 km.

This trail is best walked in the winter after the creek has frozen.  Other wise a detour is required to cross the Queensway.  When frozen you can cross the river on the ice going under the Queensway bridge. 

Trail head: Jeff Healey Park

                  Toronto ON

Free street Parking on Daniels St. or on Burma Dr.

The first part of the trail is paved with stairs going down to the park. Walk past the tennis courts and the playground toward the Mimico Creek.  As you approach the creek look for the trail on the right.  

Trail surface:  In summer time dirt trail between wild grasslands.  Can be wet or muddy after rain.  In winter snow trail usually clearly marked by the local walkers. 

The trail follows the creek fairly closely all the way to the tracks for the Go train.  This is the turn around point.

Some scrambling required because the underpasses are not all the same level. 

Creek view at the turn around point.

Wildlife can often be spotted here.
