"It's Canadian winter, but that doesn't mean it's time to hibernate. Whether you're hiking or cross-country skiing, you'll be inspired to get going with our favourite urban trails."
The Rideau Canal, Ottawa Designated a UNESCO world heritage site in 2007, the Rideau Canal in downtown Ottawa turns into Canada's longest skateway in the winter. If you're a committed walker, a path on each side lets you partake on solid ground.
Top trail: Start just east of the parliament buildings and head south for 7.8 km to Dows Lake.
The Don Valley, Toronto Minutes from downtown Toronto, this trail is flanked by a highway and a train track. However, the Don River, which runs alongside the path, and regular fox and deer sightings give the feel of wilderness within the hustle and bustle of the city.
Top trail: Start at Riverdale Farm and head north to the Evergreen Brick Works environmental centre for a 3.5 km walk.
