Itinerary:

So, with line 3 shutting down in 2023, I'm trying to find new locations to start my Scarberia hikes as there a so many interesting trails out in the east end.
Half of this hike will be familiar to me, but the other half will be completely new.

This 8 KM hike will both start and finish at Eglinton GO Station.

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, grassy fields, paved park paths and single track dirt trails.

In terms of hills, there should be 1 climb of about 25 meters with a few smaller ups.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at a McDonalds located about 6.5 KM into the hike.

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'HERE ON AMAZON'.
