Humber River Arch Bridge, Toronto

For two years now I have always wanted to go to this place every time my GO Train will pass by the Waterfront. There was no doubt in my mind that this is a nice place to visit, bring my camera, relax and enjoy Lake Ontario waterfront. But for so many reasons I just kept on delaying that visit until this long weekend when we finally decided to drive around Toronto from Port Credit Lakeshore Drive all the way to Gardiner Freeway to CN Tower in downtown Toronto.

Our first stop was actually Colonel Samuel Smith Park in Etobicoke but I will write about that some other time. Instead, for now let’s go South Humber Park’s waterfront in Toronto. Humber Park is located near the boundary of the cities of Toronto and Etobicoke by the Lake Ontario. On a sunny weekend this place is getaway for city dwellers who want to sweat it off by trailing, biking, roller skating - or, by simply just walking and enjoying the magnificent view of Lake Ontario with downtown Toronto as the backdrop.



Aside from a lot of things that you can do here there is a plethora of things for the lens to snap. Most picturesque of all is the Humber River Arch Bridge. This bridge is about 140 metres in length and is a tied arch structure that connects two trails. From one angle the top of arch of the bridge looks like a King Cobra that is ready to strike. There is only one way I can describe this bridge – it’s a beauty! For anyone planning to visit Toronto, this is a place to see specially if you want to take home a good alternative picture of Toronto’s Downtown skyline.

    Junnie, thanks for the 2 years anniversary greetings, same here to you and Mitzi. 1 more year na lang hindi na pahirapan mag explain sa immigration on our routine border pass.

    The pictures were taken on a very hot sunny day. I did not post the picture of the sunbathers on bikini – hindi kasi closeup eh!

    We've been here 5 years and we've never been there pa! hahaha... panay drive by lang, but we never really stop and cross that bridge.

    actually 2 more years pa for you before hassle free sa border... i believe applying for citizenship is 1 year processing na.

    Jo,

    I think the perfect tie to go there is either early morning or late afternoon when it's not too hot.

    Tama ka halfway pa lang pala but getting there. Somebody told me na mabilis daw and processing sa Niagara area. I wonder if that is true.
