Mimico Creek begins in Brampton and travels in a southeasterly direction to drain into Lake Ontario, west of the Humber River. Its watershed is located between the Humber and Etobicoke Creek. Like so many of Toronto’s waterways, most of Mimico Creek has ended up enclosed by sewer or concrete spillway. However, south of Bloor Street, near the Islington subway station, it is still exposed. It passes by Montgomery’s Inn and its former beauty can be experienced to the south in Humber Bay Park, where the mouth of the creek is crossed by a very striking pedestrian bridge designed by Santiago Calatrava.
