Not-Your-Average Toronto Tour – Stop Four – The Scarborough Bluffs

The Scarborough Bluffs features beautiful lakeside cliffs that tower as high as 65m over Lake Ontario, and is 14km along the coastline of Scarborough, Toronto. The bluffs contain many layers of sediments and fossils that have captivated scientists like geologists and archaeologists to study them. Much of Toronto’s geographical history has been displayed on the magnificent bluffs. As well as sightseeing the scenic areas, recreational activities such as hiking, tours, picnicking, and sailing are allowed in Bluffer’s Park considering the softly hilled grassy lands and compacted soil.

The Scarborough Bluffs are important because they beautifully represent both the fun, urban, recreational yet peaceful and natural aspects of Toronto. Visitors are shown the beauty of Toronto where inhabitants are proud to live in. As well, Bluffer’s Park is a nice family and friends outing place. Many families in Toronto visit the area to enjoy the beautiful bluffs, sparkling waters, and scenic walkway. The park is an ecosystem thriving in a busy urban city, where animals, plants, and rocks can exist together without disruptions. The Bluffs help maintain ecological balance in Toronto. This place also has historical significance because geologists come to study the unique landforms of the world and collect samples of rock, fossils, and vegetation for examination.



The Not-Your-Average Toronto Tour is a result of a 2011 grade 9 Geography of Canada student project. Students designed their own Geocaching.com pages based on sites important to Toronto’s cultural, physical, ecological, and economic landscape. The top six student projects have been placed and published. The final site (in the Rouge Valley) has a larger geocache filled with items that represent all six sites from the 2011 project.
