Wilket Creek Recreational Trail — Attraction in Toronto

In much of 2025, the south end will not be easily accessible with the closure of the road from a bridge near Leslie before the Wilket Trailhead on the road to Sunnybrook. The entire trail and bridges from Edwards Gardens hasve been rebuilt along with the re-routing of the creek to minimize erosion. It follows the path of Wilket Creek. The raised trail parts, designed by Schollen, are spectacular in their protecting both the trail and the wetland. The ravine is one of the places in Toronto that still has white pines, which are subject to degradation by pollution elsewhere.

Most probably, I'll come back again with friends to visit the trail.
