Night Hike: Blythwood Ravine Park, & Sherwood Park (5 KM) (10/29/2024)

IF YOU ARE ARRIVING VIA SUBWAY, PLEASE READ THE EVENT DIRECTIONS SECTION BELOW REGARDING THE SUBWAY ENTRANCE CLOSURE & HOW TO REACH THE MEETING POINT.

So, the random hike picker has selected this urban hike for this evening.

This 5 KM hike will both start and finish at Lawrence Station.

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, single track dirt trail and gravel paths.

In terms of hills, there are none over 25 meters, but a bunch of short climbs.

Sadly, there won't be any washrooms open on the route.
I suggest using the Independent City Market before the start of the hike.

For those unfamiliar with how I lead my hikes.

• If you see me walking at a certain pace, you don’t have to walk at the same pace as me (I like to talk to different people on a hike, so I walk I different paces)
• If you’d like to walk faster than me, that’s cool, if you like to walk slower than me, that’s cool too
• We’ll meet up as a group when we take a major turn, cross a major intersection or if I think the group is getting too far separated.
• We’ll do a water break, breather and sure everyone is aliver
• I have two requests:
  1. If you choose to walk in front of me and you don’t know where you’re going, please stop and wait as I ain’t going to chase after y'all.
  2. Please no harassment, or else you won’t be welcomed back.

Lawrence Subway Station is located on the Yonge Subway Line, two stops south of Sheppard and 6 Stations north of Bloor.

We'll meet on the North-West corner of Yonge St and Lawrence Ave, right beside the City Market on the Lawrence Avenue side.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MAIN SUBWAY ENTRANCE AT LAWRENCE STATION IS CLOSED, SO YOU WILL BE FORCED TO EXIT AT THE NORTH ENTRANCE.
Please exit to the BEDFORD PARK AVENUE EXIT, which you can get to by turning left once exiting the presto fare gates.
You should be out, beside the exit with the TD
From there, once you get to Yonge Street, turn right (south) and walk to the next traffic light.
If you don't know which direction is south, walk in the direction of the SCOTIABANK (which is visible on the other side of the street).
Once you get to Lawrence, turn right and I'll beside the City Market.

In terms of parking, there's free parking on Lympstone Ave, which is one block south of Lawrence, east of Yonge & on St Edmunds Dr, which is one block east of Yonge Street, south of Lawrence.

Look for me in the BLUE Toronto Outdoor Club shirt.
