Land OwnerCity of Toronto / Toronto Region Conservation Authority
Site trail that runs close to the Don River. It goes over a short ridge and through a two community-made firepit areas. One has a BBQ grill. Both have benches. They welcome all users and ask that folks bring some wood and bevvies to share and keep the place clean. They call this place The Rockets, because the DIY fire pits (made from old grain hoppers, flipped over) look like rockets when lit up. The torii is a guerrilla memorial/art installation. Be sure to read the plaque and pay your respects.

This is a good first time visit to the Don ride. You miss all the sketchy Black Diamond Runs.

Starting at Pottery Road, smooth flowing trails with some tech features but cyclecross bikes and handle it...

The Eastern part of this trail has a couple head chopper trees. Keep your eyes up, especially when riding at night.

perfect conditions. Construction fence right next to it but seems they won't block it.

Bridge down on west side of trail, not rideable, nearly impossible to walk with a bike.
Overgrown including something thorny that sliced open my finger
