Join the Don Watershed Regeneration Council on guided interpretive walks located throughout Torontos largest watershed. Discover the ecology and history of the Don River on a series of scenic walks through the ravines. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17 | 1PM | FORKS OF THE RIVER This walk begins along the West Don River, crosses to the East Don and then past the Forks of the Don where the two tributaries unite to form the Lower Don River. This section of the Don Valley, once heavily industrialized, now struggles to regain a natural state, often hampered by flood damage from heavy storms. Start Point: End of the parking lot at the north end of E.T. Seton Park at the north east corner of Leslie and Eglinton, M4H 1G8 Getting There: From Eglinton Station, take bus 51, 54, 56 or 100 along Eglinton Avenue East. Get off at the stop at Leslie Street. On the south side of Eglinton Avenue East, take the set of stairs down into a parking lot. This walk begins at the far (east) end of this parking lot. Finish Point: Todmorden Mills, 67 Pottery Road, Toronto, ON M4K 2B9 Getting Home: A 10-minute walk east up Pottery Road leads to Broadview Avenue from where you can take any TTC bus south to the Broadview Station, or walk approximately 7 minutes to the station. Length: Approximately 3 hours Distance: Approximately 6 kilometres Difficulty: Relatively easy but note that the trail surface varies from pavement to some compacted soil and there are also steps/ramps where the trail is not stroller-friendly. This walk follows a multi-use trail. Watch for cyclists! Download the Walk the Don Guide for the Forks of the Don http://www.trca.on.ca/dotAsset/94847.pdf Want to join us?
