Dog-Friendly Hike: Old Mill to High Park Zoo

Join us for a dog-friendly urban nature walk starting at Old Mill Station, following the panoramic Humber River Trail. We’ll cross the iconic Humber River Arch Bridge, visit High Park Zoo to see capybaras, sheep, and peacocks, and end the hike at Keele Station.

The route features mostly flat trails with some inclines and stairs. Hiking shoes and long pants are recommended. Enjoy lakeside paths, forested sections, and green space along the way.

Bring your dog or just your love for dogs!
