“The city within a park” – Toronto’s astounding network of ravines is among the largest in the world. It is a network of deep ravines that form a large urban forest that runs throughout much of the city.
The largest ravines are home to the rivers running south to the shores of Lake Ontario from the Oak Ridges moraine: the Humber River, the Don River, and the Rouge River, carrying water, wildlife and people through Ontario’s most densely urbanized area.
