Durham Region Nature Trails
Welcome to Durham Region!
Our region is a great place to work, live and play. A unique mix of urban and rural environments gives us many natural parks and trails to explore.
Durham Region is east of Toronto, in the Golden Horseshoe area of Ontario. It is a mix of rural, residential, and commercial land. North Durham is mostly rural, with a thriving agriculture sector, and is home to Oak Ridges Moraine. To the south, lakeshore communities offer urban development and a diverse employment base.
The Region of Durham is situated in the highly developed and populated economic centre of Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe which stretches from Oshawa to Niagara Falls. It lies immediately to the east of the City of Toronto within the Greater Toronto Area and encompasses an area of approximately 2,590 square kilometres (1,000 square miles). The area is characterized by a variety of landscapes and communities. A series of major lakeshore urban communities contrast with a variety of small towns, villages, hamlets and farms which lie immediately inland. There are eight municipalities in the Region: Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Clarington, Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock.
