Forks of the Credit is a beautiful park west of Toronto. We offer excellent hiking, picnicking, and fishing, as well as #xcski and snowshoeing in the winter.
Taking shortcuts off marked paths might seem harmless, but social trails can damage habitats, increase erosion, and disrupt wildlife at Forks of the Credit. Please help protect the park by staying on designated trails. 🌿
