Woods that transport you to back country while you are still in the city. A short walk away from the Long Branch Go station, the creek has lots of birds, squirrels, thick vegetation and this winter (2019) a deer family. You could spot the occasional cayote, but still safe to walk/run/bike. With fresh air and the sound of the water gushing down, this area makes for a relaxing walk/run. The water is clear and a favorite among people who like to do angling. You will find families riding their bikes, athletes practicing for their runs and hobbyists looking for birds. As you walk up north of the creek you get to a clearing close to 401 with a baseball pitch. On your walk south you will get to Marie Curtis Park and Lake Ontario. Either direction is pretty and you can enjoy this path cum trail all through the year. During winter be cautious of ice/snow while you venture out.

A great place for a walk! Follow the paved path, or try some of the "off road" paths in the wooded areas... you never know what you'll see (we saw deer.) A walk down to the lake and back is about an hour and we'll worth the trip.

This is such an interesting place to go for a cycle, a walk with a dog, or leisurely stroll along a forested path that follows Etobicoke Creek. I love coming here during the week when it's extremely quiet and you might be able to see some pretty interesting birds if you keep your eyes open.

Starting from Marie Curtis Park, enjoy a long paved path to walk and many trails through the woods to explore by the Etobicoke Creek. Poison Ivy and ticks (lime disease) can be a risk. Wear pants if you opt to explore the woodsy trails as the foliage is quite lush and the grass tall. The long walk to the Middle Road Bridge was worth it so I highly recommend it!
