About the Trail
A slice of wilderness just one hour from Toronto, Glen Major showcases several headwater types, gigantic trees and a regenerated gravel pit. Rainwater falling on Glen Major filters through the sand and gravel of the Oak Ridges Moraine, replenishing groundwater reserves and feeding wetlands and streams. Duffins Creek flows from here through the Greenbelt to Lake Ontario, and is one of the healthiest watersheds in the region.
