🚴 Toronto Cycling & Hiking: Our First Ride of 2025! 🌸

Finally feeling like spring! Here’s our go-to family-friendly route—perfect for biking or a leisurely walk. 📍 Route Highlights ✨ Distance: One-way 2.2 km (~7 mins bike ride / 30 mins walk) ✨ Paved pathway with scenic views: trains, iron bridges, beaches, and a playground—great for a relaxed afternoon! ✨ Start: Great Lakes Waterfront Trail ✨ End: Port Union Village Common Park (both have free parking 🅿️, and the park has a playground!) ❄️ Current Conditions (Early Spring) • Some snow/ice patches remain, but the trail is mostly clear (already busy with hikers & cyclists!). • Kids should walk bikes over snowy sections for safety. 🧤 Gear Tips for Cool Days ✅ Winter boots (for puddles & slush) ✅ Grippy gloves (avoid bulky ski gloves—kids need handlebar control!) ✅ Sunglasses (glare from snow & water) ✅ Windproof jacket (breezy by the lake!) ✅ Water & snacks ⚠️ Pro Tip: If you prefer totally clear trails, wait a few more weeks! #TorontoHiking #TorontoCycling #SpringVibes #FamilyOutings #ExploreOntario
