Many visitors come to Georgina for our beautiful beaches, but we want to bring attention to another amazing amenity that Georgina has to offer - trails! Our Summer Tourism Information Officer Logan Brown gives you a glimpse of a few trails in our community and provide links to the Town's full Trails Brochure.
Deer Park Trail entrance is near the intersection of Metro Road and Deer Park Drive
This 6.1-km loop trail is located between Keswick and Sutton, and offers parking on the side of the road where the trail starts. There are multiple points of entry, half way up Deer Park Road and on Deer Park Road by the intersection of Metro Road and Deer Park. This trail is located close to Deer Park school and North Gwillimbury Park, both of which have playgrounds for kids. North Gwillimbury Park also has Lake access, so once you work up a sweat you can take a dip to cool off!
York Regional Forest: Metro Road Tract - 1763 Metro Rd N, Georgina, ON L0E 1L0
The Metro Road Tract is located between Keswick and Sutton, and is on the side of one of the main roads, Metro Road. This trail is one of the shorter trails in Georgina, only measuring about 2.5-km and is a loop. This short trail is located close to De La Salle Park, so hikers can cool down at the beach when they have finished their hike.
