Welcome to York Region!
York Region is located in the heart of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in Southern Ontario. The Region is comprised of nine area municipalities covering approximately 1,776 square kilometres, stretching from the City of Toronto in the south to Lake Simcoe and the Holland Marsh in the north, and bounded by Peel Region in the west and Durham Region in the east. The dominant physical features of the Region are Lake Simcoe and the Oak Ridges Moraine, an east-west rolling topography, including forested areas, wetlands, and kettle lakes covering 500 square kilometres. These features enhance the quality of life for the Region’s residents, provide abundant recreational opportunities, and are a basis for tourism in the Region.
York Region’s extensive network of trails and forests are among the Region’s most cherished attractions. Born of ancient routes used by First Nations, the trail network now extends throughout each of the nine cities and towns. Trail explorers can choose between paved urban trails or rugged forest paths.
