Rouge National Urban Park, National urban park in Toronto, Canada
Rouge National Urban Park extends over 79 square kilometers of natural space, connecting Lake Ontario to Oak Ridges Moraine through forests and wetlands.
The park area formed 12,000 years ago when glacial melt created ancestral Lake Ontario, with a 20-meter thick ice lobe preventing eastward water flow.
Indigenous hunters, Iroquoian farmers, European explorers, and modern multicultural communities have inhabited this land for more than 10,000 years.
Visitors access 12 kilometers of hiking trails, cycling paths, and waterways through public transportation, personal vehicles, or bicycles with dedicated parking areas.
The park contains geological formations from the last glacial period that scientists study to assess earthquake risks in Greater Toronto.
