Crothers Woods Ravine Hike

Details

Join us for a weekend trek through **Crothers Woods**, one of Toronto’s most unique urban forests. Hidden in the Don River Valley, this area features mature maple-beech forests and winding natural trails that make you forget you're just minutes from the downtown core.

This is a great chance to get some fresh air, explore the ravine system, and connect with others
