Lambton Woods is home to trails through Toronto's most beautiful forest

Lambton Woods is a natural masterpiece in the works. 

This 53-acre stretch of land has been undergoing maintenance for years, but even with its incomplete trails and the occasional appearance of city signs, these forests are some of the most beautiful natural landscapes the Carolinian Zone has to offer.

Steep valley slopes and forests of broadleaf trees such as maples and oaks make up this beautiful deciduous canopy.

There are also several giant logs slated to be removed. In the meantime, they make for great places to park up and take in all that beautiful scenery.lambton woods torontoToday, it's a bit of a free-for-all, and caution is advised. 

When you get off-trail, but beware of the boggy parts. Lambton sits on portions of a floodplain, open wetland, and is also the site of a large groundwater discharge area.

I recommend heading here on a weekday instead, and walking its entirety from the foot of James Garden down to just north of where the Humber River bends east.
