Rouge Park Guided Walks
Welcome to Rouge Park's Guided Walks. Join us for an urban wilderness adventure. Learn more about nature and wildlife with our friendly and fun volunteer leaders.
We have something for everyone, if you are looking for wildlife sightings, quiet nature walks, fitness challenges or just to meet new people. Kids and leashed dogs welcome; check each walk for details!
Dress for the weather, we walk rain or shine! Please wear boots or shoes designed for the trail - keep the running shoes and lightweight footwear at home. Bring binoculars and camera, water and snacks.

How to Prepare for Your Walk
Bring at least 1 litre of water (try a reusable bottle) and a snack. Bringing a hot drink? Try a thermal mug instead of a disposable cup (it will stay hot longer too!). Trails are natural surface and could be muddy and damp, with steep grades - wear proper footwear for trails. Dress for the weather - we walk snow, rain or shine. You'll want to have sun protection and be ready for a shower with a waterproof or water-repellant jacket. Keep your running shoes at home; boots or shoes made for trails are best. It's also a good idea to start carrying small backpack to carry things and stay hands-free.
Tips to get totally ready to walk year-round!
We welcome families on many of our walks! Look for the Family Friendly notes for each walk. Kids not ready for the full distance on foot are best brought on the trail in a child carrier, instead of a stroller.
Dogs on leash are generally welcome on the walks, but occasionally we may ask for our canine friends to join another outing. Look for the Dog Friendly note for each walk to be sure!
