Accessibility
The main Gus Harris Trail is a 3.2km paved (asphalt) path suitable for most visitors. However, the north entrance at Warden and St. Clair features a steep staircase into the ravine. Wheelchair-accessible access is best found via the Pharmacy Avenue entrance. Warden Woods Community Centre also provides door-to-door accessible transportation services for seniors and people with disabilities via Toronto Ride.
Parking
Free public parking is available in a large lot located off Pharmacy Avenue and Teesdale Place, situated just past the off-leash dog park.
Transit
Highly accessible via public transit. The north entrance is a 5-minute walk from Warden Subway Station (Line 2). The south end of the trail is approximately a 10-minute walk from Victoria Park Station (Line 2).
Seasonal Note
Open year-round. The paved trail is maintained, but visitors should be cautious of icy patches on slopes during winter months. The forest canopy is particularly dense in summer, providing significant shade.
