Edwards Gardens & Wilket Creek Hike

We will start the hike at the entrance to Edwards Gardens and pass through the botanical garden on our way to the Wilket Creek Trail. Known for its mature coniferous and deciduous forests, Wilket Creek transforms as the leaves change colors and begin to fall. We will enjoy a short break at the Sunnybrook Stables before turning around and heading back to our starting point.

Let's Hike T.O. is a hiking community open to everyone with a focus on newcomers, people of colour, and young adults.  All are welcome on our walks!
