Rouge Park Guided Nature Walks

Join us for a guided walk along many of Rouge Park's trails and discover parts of the Park you might not have visited yet, or learn and share a bit more about your favourite spot in the Park.

Come out for an afternoon recharge, a kickoff to the day, or stay for 2 walks for a real workout. We have an outing for you!


Our friends at the Rouge Valley Conservation Centre and the Rouge Valley Naturalists also offer walks. Click here for their schedule.

How to Prepare for Your Walk

Bring 1 litre of water (try a reusable bottle) and a snack.

Trails are natural surface and could be snowy, slippery and damp, with steep grades - wear proper footwear for trails.

Boot traction is a good idea for winter walking.

Dress for the weather and add on a waterproof jacket, pants and a warm layer. Find out more about getting ready for winter walking.
