Third walk by the Scarborough Bluffs - Highland Creek

Walk #3 of ours along Lake Ontario went a little futher East than our last walk. We started at Lawrence Avenue and Beechgrove Drive and walked south through Lower Highland Creek Park.

(Good write up on this area at https://hikingthegta.com/2016/09/08/highland-creek/)

Once we got down into the park the first surprise was just how high the Lawrence Ave bridge was!

(And if you take a shot in 'panoramic' mode, you can get a lot of distortion)

There has been quite a bit of erosion along the bank. Below is a section of the path that was actually closed off (there is a different path parallel to it). 

And from the other side:

The usual selfie, just before getting to the lake.

You cross under a railway line and are now at the intersection of Port Union Waterfront Park and East Point Park.

We walked east and along the water we saw a tagged trumpeter swan! Trumpeter swans are being tagged for study (this one is 'V02' - an improvement on 'V01' I assume). https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2015/02/20/wild-in-the-city-restoring-trumpeter-swans-in-ontario.html

And some nice beach a little further along

Finally, when walking back (and just before getting to Lawrence) I took this picture of what turned out to be a water pipe across the ravine. (See the 'hiking the GTA' link at the beginning of this post). Looked cool and slightly 'futuristic' - at least compared to the 'back to the past' feel of walking through the ravine 😀
