What to do and see in Toronto, Canada: The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas
We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

A Must Visit. The Beach is really beautiful and a great place to spend a day with Family and Friends. You can hike, picnic or just sit in front of the clean blue water of Lake Ontario. The biggest challenge here is that weekends can be very busy and you might not find any parking! We would highly recommend this place but be sure to be there early to avoid the parking woes!

A unique place near downtown Toronto to experience nature, and one of the best places for bird-watching in the city, with more than 300 recorded species. Use the menu below to find details on visiting the park, trails, events, festival, programs, restoration, and research.

Took a cab from downtown with my binoculars (as a new recruit to birdwatching). Loved it - views amazing. Despite my infancy with regards to birdwatching - successfully identified 10 new species (having traveled from England). A special thank you to Mike - the ranger who was incredibly helpful. I hope I can come back in the summer when I suspect the place is alive with wildlife.

Lots of nice trails and places to explore the Rouge River and Little Rouge Creek. We even saw MANY crayfish in the Rouge. The Cedar trail is nice but the part closer to the Meadowvale trailhead is better because it's more shaded. The half of the trail closer to the Pearse House (where you can park) is mostly in the full sun. Along the Vista trail, there's a wooden lookout tower with 2 different platforms for viewing the Rouge River.
