East Humber Trail

The East Humber Trail is a planned recreational trail within the Town’s approved Trails Master Plan. The Master Plan contemplates an interconnected Town-wide system. According to community feedback received through extensive public consultation, the Town's trail system is one of the most appreciated and popular outdoor recreation services provided by the Town. As well, new trails are the single most requested new outdoor recreational facility by Richmond Hill residents.

The East Humber Trail will pass through a variety of vegetation communities and landform features typical of those found on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The lands are comprised of old fields in various stages of succession, with some extensive woody vegetation, as well as forested areas ranging from early successional to mature mixed forests. The trail will also pass through wetland/wet meadow communities that are located within the floodplain of the East Humber River that bisects the property diagonally from the southeast to the northwest. These lands provide a diversity of habitats for many wildlife species, particularly birds, including the Black-Billed Cuckoo, Yellow-Billed Cuckoo, Ring-Necked Pheasant and Red-Breasted Nuthatch - all uncommon in the Greater Toronto Area
