SEATON HIKING TRAIL
Concession Rd 3, Pickering, ON L1V 2P9 DIRECTIONS
Here’s The Deal:
Seaton Hiking Trail is nestled along the West Duffins Creek in Pickering. The name of the trail got from the planned community of Seaton. The trail is pretty long and has a great view as the trees are tall, and it's next to a stream. These trails are short and much longer hikes. It is active for river watching, bird watching, beaver, herons and lots of migratory birds. There are also nice spots by the river where you can let your dog off-leash for a swim. The trail follows historic hunting and fishing routes on the creek. Users can tailor how long they want to hike in the woods.
