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.

What a peaceful place it is! Wide view of Ontari lake, white stones makes the place so beautiful. There is around 30 minutes sharp slope to view the lake. We were so amazed by the lake view that we did not go through the whole trail. We spent 3 hours by the lake. However, saw a pizza box on the stone, it was really sad to see people doing that to such a nice place. Not a very comfortable place for picnic, at there's no wide space to sit and eat. Road side parking, and didn't see any washroom.

Enjoyed the Doris McCarthy Trail and view at the end. It's pretty steep for anyone who is concerned about that, but the pathway is smooth enough and kept well.

Doris McCarthy is singular in her achievements as an artist and her passion for the geography of Canada which she has painted from sea to sea.

The Scarborough Bluffs are a significant geological formation of the ancient Lake Iroquois.

Passage, in form, incorporates the double-pointed oval of the ancient vesica piscis symbol for females to represent Doris✅

Absolutely stunning! It's only 15 minutes walk to the lake, and we'll go there everyday if possible.

Lucky to live in this neighborhood. Walking in this trail is such a delight. It a little hike takes about 30 minutes and 45 minutes goung back. And the view of the lake is awesome. We love to visit here and spend time relaxing by the rocky beach. The water is nice. It's not crowded, few people come here.

Really beautifull place..Its a must visit one. But the walk might be tiring because its almost 30 minutes walk to the beach. There is a sculpture called "Passage". Its less crowded and really peaceful. If u r fortunate enough u might see some animals like deer.

Couldn't have found this place if it weren't for my friend. What a beautiful place!! Calm, and quiet place with clean water away from Bluffs and not crowded at all. A good place for hikes, biking, spending time with friends. Not much of a beach, there is only a small area with beach sand, rest is rocky. The view from all the sides is beautiful.
