Humber salmon run (5 km)

It's salmon season! The short falls at Etienne Brulé park is the most reliable place to see salmon jumping against the current. It's also the most convenient too; just a few minutes from a subway station. We'll use the last light of day to spot migrating salmon. At dusk, we'll hike through so-called garden suburbs. Baby (pronounced babby) Point was the site of Teiaiagon, a Seneca village. Today, it's developed into landscaped single-family homes around swirly lanes. There are decent cafes but they're closed at night. So, we won't linger. We'll head to Bloor West Village, filled with restaurants and minor attractions. There's a converted theatre, a library with Haida totem poles, and scattered Ukrainian businesses. This neighbourhood was a magnet for Ukrainian immigrants in the 1950s. Most have moved on to other parts of the GTA but there's a resurgence in recent years with new Ukrainian restaurants sprouting up. There will be very quick stops to check out some bakeries and cafes en route. **Highlights** 1. Old Mill Restaurant (depart 6:15pm) 2. Salmon jump at Etienne Brulé Park 3. Rabago Bakery and Cafe (depart 7:05pm) 4. Momo Ghar 5. Chebureky House 6. The CakeSmith 7. Bao Bao Dim Sum / Meaty Eats 8. Runnymede Theatre 9. Runnymede Library (arrive 8pm) **Neighbourhoods** The Kingsway> Baby Point > Runnymede **Map** [https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1VU95gNa5QAVCCoPTJcNK3jto8T7USBI&usp=sharing](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1VU95gNa5QAVCCoPTJcNK3jto8T7USBI&usp=sharing) **How it works** Hike starts punctually. Late or can't do the whole route? Meet us at scheduled checkpoints. We'll browse many food places but won't linger long. See the route in advance, organize takeout, then pickup along the way. Not sure what to try? Join our omakase for $5, which gives a tiny sample from different restaurants. Payment on the day of event by cash or e-transfer to globaltorontoeats@gmail.com. No refunds after orders have been placed. Details of sampled food will be uploaded after the hike. Limited cutlery provided. Highly recommended to bring cutlery and containers for omakase and bringing back leftovers. See our [About section](https://www.meetup.com/hike-to-eat/) for more info.

🐟Walk: Salmon Run at Humber River & James Gardens 🍂

# 🐟 Salmon Run at Humber River & James Gardens 🍂 ### An Easy Fall Walk — With a Pretty Amazing Natural Show Along the Way Every fall, something incredible happens right here in Toronto. Salmon make their way upstream through the **Humber River**, battling rapids and leaping through the water as they return to freshwater to spawn. And yes — you can actually see them doing it. Join us for a relaxed, social walk along the Humber River during salmon run season. We'll spend about 30 minutes by the river watching for salmon before continuing along the trail toward **James Gardens**. This isn't a difficult hike. It's a chance to get outside, enjoy the fall scenery, see something you might not normally experience in the city, and spend some time with other people along the way. ✨ **Fun Fact:** Some salmon travel more than 3,000 km from the Atlantic Ocean to reach freshwater rivers like the Humber. After all that distance, they still have to battle rapids and leap over obstacles to reach their spawning grounds. Nature really doesn't mess around. 📱 Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ## 🚶‍♂️ What We'll Do We'll begin outside the station and make our way toward the Humber River. Along the way we'll: * Walk along the Humber River * Stop for approximately 30 minutes to look for salmon * Watch the salmon making their way upstream * Continue along the river toward James Gardens * Take a break at **James Gardens** * Enjoy the fall scenery and take some photos * Make our way back toward the station The walk is approximately **90 minutes**, depending on the pace of the group and how long we spend watching the salmon. And remember — **the salmon are wild animals.** We can't guarantee exactly how many we'll see, or how long they'll put on a show. That's part of the fun! *** ## 🍂 Why Come? The salmon run is one of those strange little Toronto experiences that you can easily miss if you don't know when and where to look. One minute you're walking through the city. The next, you're standing beside a river watching salmon fight their way upstream. We'll also visit **James Gardens**, one of those beautiful green spaces that can make you forget you're still in Toronto. Bring your camera, bring your curiosity, and come see what the Humber has to offer in the fall. *** ## ☀️ Weather & Expectations This walk takes place outdoors in typical Toronto fall weather. Please dress appropriately for the conditions and wear comfortable walking shoes. The trail may be damp or muddy depending on recent weather. Bring water and a snack, and dress in layers — fall weather can change quickly. *** ## 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 **Meetup Location:** Right outside the station 🫎 **Look for me in my Moose Hat!** ⏰ **Meetup Time: 11:00 AM** I will only wait **5 minutes**. **Early is on time. On time is late.** 🏁 **End Point:** Back at the station *** ## 🎟️ Meetup Fee **$5 cash in person or e-transfer** 📧 **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com** This fee helps support the group and allows us to continue organizing events throughout Toronto. *** ## 🎒 What to Bring 💧 Water 👟 Comfortable walking shoes 🥪 A snack 🧴 Sunscreen if it's sunny 📷 A camera or phone for photos *** ## 🌈 Who Is This For? This walk is great for: * Anyone who wants an easy fall outing * People who enjoy nature and wildlife * Anyone curious about Toronto's rivers and green spaces * People looking for a relaxed social walk * Anyone who wants to meet new people while exploring the city * Salmon enthusiasts — obviously. 🐟 The activity is the container. **The people you meet along the way are the real experience.** *** 📲 **REMEMBER:** You're welcome to RSVP ahead of time or just show up on the day if you're unsure about your schedule. Sometimes things happen and events may need to be cancelled or changed, so please keep an eye on the event page for updates. 👤 **Organizer: Mathew** Questions? Post on the event wall or email: 📧 **torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com** **Come for the salmon.** **Stay for the walk.** **Leave with a new connection — and maybe a new friend.** 🍂💛
