About the Highland Creek Watershed

The Highland Creek watershed falls almost entirely within the City of Toronto, with just a small section located in the City of Markham. It is approximately 102 square kilometres in size — small compared to the other watersheds in the Greater Toronto Area.

Highland Creek is the most urbanized urbanized watershed in the Toronto region. Just 6% of its total area is forested. Despite this, the Highland Creek watershed boasts approximately 54 kilometres of trails. Its remnant forests, wetlands, and meadows offer great escapes in nature.
