Humber Arboretum

Humber Arboretum

The Humber Arboretum, with its more than 100 hectares (250 acres) of themed gardens, walking trails, woodlands, meadows, wetlands and the Humber River, offers many opportunities for nature walks, hiking and cycling. In addition to outdoor recreation, educational programs, summer camps and self-guided activities are offered for individuals and families.
