Blythwood Ravine & Sherwood park

Join us for a fall hike through Blythwood ravine & Sherwood park! We’ll begin by passing through the tranquil, formal stone terrace of the Alexander Muir Memorial Gardens. From there, we’ll descend into Blythwood Ravine, following a scenic forested trail along Burke Brook before continuing into Sherwood Park, where we can take in the vibrant fall foliage as the leaves change colours. As one of the largest remaining protected natural areas in the city, Sherwood Park offers charming, picturesque wooded boardwalks that feel miles away from the urban grid. Expect a gentle, panoramic loop featuring a mix of paved paths, dirt trails, and wooden boardwalks and stairs winding through mature woods and babbling brooks.
