📍Mast Trail at the Rouge Urban National Park is a moderate difficulty 2.2km trail that you can do with kids. The uphill hike can be difficult if the trail is wet so wear the right shoes. Taking a hike pole is always a good idea when it’s slippery. The trail also connects to other trails so you can do a bigger loop. Vista trail is another popular option. Access from Twyn Rivers Dr and park at the day use parking. The drive down Twyn rivers dr is also absolutely stunning in the fall but unfortunately part of it is shut down right now. . . .. . . #torontohikes #ontariohiking #hiking #rougenationalurbanpark #masttrail [fall hikes, rouge national urban park, Toronto hikes, mast trail, vista trail]

Rouge National Urban Park Views 🍂 Vista Trail Outlook Point 😍 Share with someone you need to visit with 🏞 1749 Meadowvale Rd. ℹ️ $4 parking for the hour but worth it. (I think it's a new parking lot?) Never paid for it before. #Scarborough #ScarboroughSpots 📍

THIS NATIONAL PARK IS FREE TO VISIT! ✈️ Follow @across_continentss for more fun experiences, travel tips, and adventures! 📍Rouge National Urban Park is huge and has many entrances. We chose the southern parking lot and didn’t regret it, because it has access to most trails. It also means that it’s the busiest, so no surprise it was full. Why we liked the southern part of the park: ❤️ It has a nice observation deck right near the southern parking ❤️ Has lovely boardwalks ❤️ Wonderful staff at the entrance who’ll give you the physical map ❤️ Has washrooms on site ❤️ Has lots of colorful trees and feels more on the foresty side 🌳 The only inconvenience is that trails are not looped, so once you finish a trail, you have to go the same way back again. 🫶 In general we enjoyed hiking there and we hope that you will too!
