Pre-plan Your Adventure
Browse the Parks section of our website and download the trail map for your destination, or snap a picture of the map at the trailhead to ensure you’re well prepared for the hidden wonders that await you.
Familiarize yourself with trail locations, permitted activities, and the rules and etiquette so you know exactly where to go and what to enjoy along the way.
You can also download trail maps onto your phone using Avenza Maps QR codes found at the trailhead to help you navigate.
Staying on Track
Look out for blazes: paint markings on posts or trees meant to help you find your way. White blazes indicate main trails, while blue blazes mark side trails.
Double blazes signal a turn approaching; the upper marking indicates the direction of the turn.

TRCA’s trails are designed for everyone, allowing all adventurers to uncover nature’s hidden treasures.
At the trailhead, you’ll find a chart with detailed information about trail length, width, slopes, and difficulty rating. This enables you choose a trail that suits your abilities.
