Highland Creek Arch Hike

An 11-kilometer hike from Guildwood GO Station to Rouge Hill GO Station takes you along one of Toronto’s most scenic stretches—following Highland Creek and the waterfront, through vibrant ravines, parklands, and natural habitats nestled right in the city’s eastern edge. Experience lush forest corridors, scenic creek valleys, and a series of waterfront parks teeming with birdlife and wildlife. The trail reveals expansive lake views, hidden pebble beaches, and a glimpse of the Scarborough Bluffs. Paved paths, bridges, and winding naturalistic segments offer variety and a true sense of urban escape.
