Not a great hiking trail. The trail is not wide enough, too small and short. Didn’t find it nicely maintained too. Broken paths etc. I would rather go to better trails in and around the city. This one is my least favourite!
Had an amazing fall lookout while being here recently. This is one of the best place to see Colors of Autumn during the end week of October without having to travel much within Toronto City. Has a good hiking trail and plenty area to keep you busy throughout the day.nEasily accessible by TTC bus service.nnCrothers Woods is located north of Evergreen Brick Works and west of the Don Valley Highway, between Pottery Rd and Millwood Rd.nIt has everything: mature forest, birch and larch meadows, a river, dirt and gravel trails, a pedestrian bridge, a railroad track in us another abandoned… and a 194-step staircase.
Fantastic trails that are popular with runners and mountain bikers!nnDIFFICULTY & TRAIL MAPS: nDepending on the adventure you choose, the trail varies from beginner to advanced.nnWhen I visited, the paths we chose didn't have many trail markers, and we only came across one map. I highly suggest taking photos of the map during your visit to avoid getting lost.nnTERRAIN: nThe terrain is quite technical in certain areas again, depends on the trails you choose. It's a mixture of wider gravel trails, narrow dirt trails, and some parts are eroded from the recent floods we had in July. Proper trail shoes are recommended.nnPARKING & TRANSPORTATION: nCrothers Woods is accessible by subway and bus. It's about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the bus stops nearby.nnThe Thomas Hauser Memorial Trailhead is located at the farther side of the Loblaws parking lot. There is plenty of parking, and it's free.nnRESTROOMS: nWashrooms are located inside the Loblaws. Didn't see any portable washrooms inside the trails.nnPET-FRIENDLINESS: nHave seen people with their pets on and off leash here.
Amazing area and trails. Love all of the sights and although the trails can be challenging it's worth the trip just for the views. You can enter from Beechwood Drive and if the gate is open across the road there's parking at the bottom. We hiked in two different directions from the Beechwood and Crothers Woods sign and it was so nice out. Nice to see the Don River frozen over and interesting as it never seems to freeze over closer to the city.nLots of ducks along the way and they seem to enjoy sitting on the ice and jumping into the water occasionally. Great area for families, children and we even passed a family with a 4x4 stroller.nMany bikes passing us even though the trails were covered in snow. People jogging, walking and bird watchers. Many dogs out enjoying time with there humans. Overall very interesting area and nice sights.
Its a 10km of natural trail with a diverse population of birds. There are some amazing views of Toronto skyline around the corners. It is really a popular escape into the nature in the middle of the city.nnThese are dirt trails and includes some steeo sections and is rated as intermediate level trails.nnThere are other trails around to explore as well like the Sun Valley Trail and the Cottonwood Flats Trail. You could see the pictures uploaded along with the review. I have covered all these trails along with the Lower Don Parklands.nnParking is available with the Loblaws and Starbucks. There are restrooms you can use there or buy something to eat on your trail.nnDogs are allowed. Trails are suitable for all age groups be it children or elders or even older people. There are bike trails also available. You could see the dog walkers along the trail. The Don river just gives a picturesque landscape to the whole trail. There are hills and trees all around. There is an abandoned railway line bridge on top of the river with some cool graffiti.nnIt is also known for mountain biking. So get your MTBs and helmets and get set going. Overall, it was a nice experience and we did this in fall. Can't wait for the spring to go there again for all the colors.nnThanks and share the review with your friends if you like it.
