Best Nature and Wildlife Areas in Markham

"Located within the headwaters of the Don and Humber Rivers, this is a great park to get back to nature without having to go that far as it's south of Rutherford Road. Key highlights include a steep-sided Humber River Valley and big hill that gives you gorgeous view points of the Humber River. The park is great for picnics with quite a number of areas to set up which makes it great for families."

"If you’ve never been to Boyd Conservation Centre, you’re missing out. This Woodbridge nature preserve, which is chock full of mature trees, is nothing short of majestic. It’s also a local favourite for family get-togethers, thanks to its many picnic and BBQ sites."

"Sugarbush is a beautiful and quiet place to hike right in the Thornhill Woods neighbourhood. It’s stunning all year round, but it’s especially beautiful when the trees are coated in fall colours!. LOCATION: 91 Thornhill Woods Dr, Thornhill, ON"

"I originally stumbled upon Sweet Olenka’s as I was walking down Queen Street West one summer afternoon. Although Sweet Olenka’s isn’t 100% vegan, they had a great selection of vegan ice cream. Nowadays, they no longer have their Queen West location, but you can visit them in Etobicoke."

"The Lodge is one of the best bear bars in Toronto – ie if you wanna just hang out but don't fancy being tied up in a swing and/or peed/spat on etc(!) then this is the ideal alternative to the Black Eagle. The Lodge is the upstairs bar to the O'Grady's Restaurant – another gay gem on the Church Street gay scene. Friday is the best night to come here when they have one of the best Bear parties in the city."

"If you are looking to enjoy comedy performances while eating scrumptious food, make sure you visit The Groove Bar & Grill when holidaying in Toronto. It’s a family-owned establishment well-equipped with big-screen televisions hosting outstanding comedy shows. Spend time here laughing your head off at hilarious performances."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Watch comedy performances in a great atmosphere by visiting this comedy club in Toronto. It entertains you with comic acts of local novice comics as well as professional performers."

"In North America, that place is situating, where every person is enthused. The mood of that club is always overwhelming. Every night from Wednesdays to Saturdays, the area is open for everyone, and laugh seekers catch every moment."

"Lovebird is a 100% vegan establishment, famous for their sandwiches and bowls. They’ve got a variety of vegan fried “chickun” sandwiches, like a hot Nashville spicy chicken sandwich or a chicken parmigiana. You can also order the fried chicken on its own or as part of a bowl."

"Papyrus is a veg-friendly Egyptian restaurant on the Danforth. Vegan items are denoted clearly on the menu with a V, and the majority of the menu appears to be vegan. I was really excited when I saw their menu posted on their front door as I was walking past one day, and I can’t wait to dine here sometime."
