Seaton Trail

The Seaton Trail is located along the West Duffins Creek in Pickering, Ontario. It runs for 12.9 km (around 9 miles) from 3rd Concession Road near Brock Road northwest to Highway 7 at Green River. 

The trail follows historic hunting and fishing routes on the creek, used for centuries by aboriginal people. In pioneer times, the creek and valley became the site of several water powered mills. 

This last weekend was sunny and warm.... not typical November weather at all, and of course, lots of people were out walking, and many of them chose to walk the Seaton Trail. 

We parked at the village of Whitevale. From there, the trail heads both south and north. We decided to go southbound. I walked with my friend and her little dog on Saturday afternoon. Great opportunity for exercise, but no hope of seeing or hearing any wildlife due to the many weekend warriors out in full force. But we managed to log over 8200 steps, and I'd love to go again on a weekday when there aren't so many people out on the trail. Perhaps we'll try the northbound trail next.
