Rouge National Urban Park

A sprawling, beautiful, massive national park that is the closest thing to wilderness you'll find within Toronto city limits. Out of the numerous times I've come here, I've managed to get lost in it twice, and it's been awesome. No better place in Toronto to get lost.

Summer, autumn, winter, spring, it's never too crowded because it's so large. If you find where you are with too many people, it's easy to go somewhere where you might be the the only person around for miles. Truly an oasis.

Rouge National Park is a true natural oasis. The trails are well-maintained and cater to all fitness levels, making it easy to enjoy a hike or a leisurely walk. The scenic views, especially near the water, are breathtaking and provide a perfect backdrop for relaxation. It’s a great place to disconnect and recharge, whether you’re looking to exercise or simply enjoy nature. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat close to the city!

The park boasts with diverse landscape including lush forest, serene meadows, wetlands, Rouge River. I did two trail Vista & Mast trail that offers scenic views & natural beauty. You can enjoy bird watching, canoeing, fishing & picnic. Easy accessible with TTC, well-maintained facilities, big parking lot & washrooms available at spot. Exceptional outdoor experience even on hot sunny days.

Amazing park. Natural wilderness.

Lots of parking space, paths are clean, natural,, no garbage around.

Great for hiking, jogging, walking through the woods.

Our favourite park. We always return. Every single year.

Nice and scenic place within 30 minutes of Toronto. We primarily went for fishing and walking trails. Link to the lake is beautiful.

Small area for fishing but there are opportunities to catch. But it gets crowded quick and then the lines are going crossing each other. We ended up moving to northern side of the rouge river and that worked out better.

Beautiful hiking / walking trails.
