Itinerary:

So I haven't done a hike down Taylor Creek for a bit, so here's a go at this.

This entire hike is on paved trails or roads and is only a massive 9 KM long and is pretty easy, except as per standard practice, the big hill along Pottery Road at this end. Sorry, I have to make you suffer a little bit.

However, I should note that it could very snowy or icy on the trail, so hiking boots / traction devices (icers) are a good idea.

For this hike, we'll start at Victoria Park Station and end at Chester Station.

  • Flashlight / Headlight
  • Hiking boots
  • Water 1-2 L and snacks
  • Weather appropriate clothing
  • Recommended Items to Bring:

  • How to Get There:
    Event Directions:

    Victoria Park Station is located on the Danforth Subway Line, 2 stops west of Kennedy & 11 stops east of Yonge Station.

    Meet near the collector's or fares booth, inside the station, near the Victoria Park Avenue Exit.

    Look for the guy with the blue Toronto Outdoor Club shirt marking attendance, possibly drinking a coffee and jamming to some classical music.
