This is a gorgeous loop trail that runs alongside the Humber River that's called the Riverwalk.
This is just the beginning though as there's a trail known as Jersey Creek. Linking Jersey Creek Park with Chancellor District Park, and Giovanni Caboto Park, you'll be able to stroll through a large part of the local neighbourhood and enjoy a comfortable linear walk.
