Gates Gully

It was a memorable walk through the hilly trail to the lake. Just 20 min walk from where I live in! Great place to visit around. Recommend in summer time.

Great place to walk by the water away from traffic and city noise. Very peaceful, be sure to wear proper shoes.

Secluded walk down a fairly steep ravine to the lake. Can walk east or west along the shore. Great views of the bluffs and a piece of public art worth seeing!

Nice trail. Steep cliffs. Beautiful views of Lake Ontario and the bluffs.

The trek back up is about 116m so you should feel the burn!

I didn't realize just how steep the path is. First time at the gully and I wasn't sure about getting back up so I turned around before getting to the water.

Awesome views of the Lake and Bluffs. Can be easy or challening hike. There is a long steep incline gravel path down into. Which can be tiring coming back up. Must experiences this local natural beauty.

Really nice place, a bit of a hiking trek to get down but it's a really beautiful place. Very relaxing and not too many people were there.

The walk downhill to the water is wonderful. The sound of the stream as you head down towards the water is zenful. Great place to take your pets for a walk. The beach is all big stones, no sand though. Just an FYI

The Ravine path provides access to the lake and many kilometers of hiking and biking along the shore. It's nicer than walking down the Bluffer's Park road, which has no shoulder and too much car traffic

A beautiful hike down from Doris McCarthy trail brings us down to gates gully and beautiful vistas along the lake. ~1km Hike back up from Lake to parking is not easy.

If you want an intense bike ride or hike up a hill, this is the place. It's 90m of elevation over 1km distance. What a great climb on the bike! This is a great place to train!

Beautiful ride along the waterfront trail. Totally worth a try, highly recommend a trail bike as some of the Surface are gravel it can get a road bike in to some tricky situations.

Nice nature trail along the Scarborough Bluffs. Great for walking or hanging out by the water. There are some hazards along the edges of the cliffs to watch out for.

Nice hike from Galloway Rd parking lot. Had a good visit with a dear friend and enjoyed the serenity.

First and last time. City has clearly dumped rocks and stones along shoreline to avoid erosion, however the rocks and stones chosen are clearly put here instead of the dump. There's old bricks, pipes and more. Quite sad

Parking was a problem, had to park roadside and far from entrance. The trail was beautiful following a creek. Seen few cherry blossom and blue bells patch.

Beautiful trail and enjoyable for the whole family. So many things to stop and see for the kids, a good cardio activity indeed. I suffer from chronic sciatic nerve pain due to a bulging disc and I was able to manage the trail, even with its steepness.

I cant believe this is only a 30 minute hike from my home. It took a pandemic for me to go for a hike so close to home.

Very humbling to realize this beauty was so close.

Great incline/decline. Lush greenery. Beauty scenery. And it takes you to the soothing sound of waves crashing into rocks and shore.

Swing by if you get the chance, i'm the guy with long silver hair and likely smiling.

Enjoy-

Wonderful walk - 1.5 hours in the snow but well worth it. Not many people go here at all. Beat water scenery in Toronto.

Tired after a long day at work? Or feeling bored? You can visit this place to free your mind and have some pleasant time alone. This place has no winter maintenance. Dont bring your kids as they will get tired walking up the slope

Visit Gates Gully using the Doris McCarthy Trail while there's strong winds blowing off the Lake Ontario and when you get to the water you will be treated to a spectacular sight and sound show of waves crashing into the shore. Very ocean like. Even better as the sun is closer to setting.

Probably the only trail that literally goes down to the lake in Torornto. It's crushed limestone over dirt and easily walked but riding back up on a bicycle would be challenging.

This is my favorite trail and lakefront that I go to three times a week, sometimes more.it doesn't get that busy because it's a treasure tucked away, and I like it that way. My only drawback is irresponsible dog owners who let their dog off the leash to run free and disturb people who are not dog friendly.

This is another nice little Park so I must be controlled by the city of Toronto awesome work City of Toronto people just be careful and sort of out in the woods you're in the City by Journey in the country just be careful there is wild life out there I've seen it foxes coyotes so make sure you keep your dog on a leash big or small make sure you clean up after your pets

My favourite trail to take my dog on. It's quiet, and an escape from the city with beautiful clear water. It is a rocky shoreline, so uneven. The trail down to the water is steep. These pictures are from a walk during spring.

Amazing path that leads to passage and nice river view. Walking back from the trail can be exhausting. Wear proper shoes

The North-South section of the Dorithy McCarthy Trail is officially closed but I went ahead anyways and it was well worth it! The creek that runs along it has been reengineered and reinforced in a very aesthetically pleasant way.

It's very nice place to visit in summer if you really like walking because to reach there there is a trail of almost 1.5 - 2.0km which go down when you go towards beach and you feels like running over there because its steep.
Best for pre wedding photoshoots because of it's view.

Love this gradually winding path down to the bottom of the bluffs and lake Ontario. Nice scenery and not many people.
If feeling like a longer walk you can follow the path to Guildwood Village.

Nice area great place to go for a walk or a bike ride. Beautiful scenery, great view of the lake.
