Rosedale Ravine Lands isn’t tucked away in a forest like some of the other walks in the city but the stretching pathway that follows the Rosedale Valley Road makes for a picturesque stroll in its own right.
Running below one of Toronto’s most historic neighbourhoods, the pathway located on the south side of the road can be followed from Park Road to Bayview Avenue.
It’s typically known as a good bike path as it’s fairly straight and mostly downhill if you’re heading east.
Although it’s not set deep in a forest, the sides of the ravine, which both slope steeply downwards, are wooded with tall maple, elm, oak and pine trees.
The creek, which started from Lawrence Avenue and Dufferin Street and flowed toward the Don River, is now buried. You’ll pass under a few bridges during the walk. The first overpass along the pathway is Sherbourne Street.
