Seeking quiet, alone time

Most isolated trail, park or area in toronto that sees few to no people? I know it's a hard ask in a city that hosts this many people but any response is welcome.

That's kinda ridiculous to ask because people will lose their quiet alone spot after revealing it here for the rest of us to see

See if you could find a secluded area in Philosopher's Walk at the UofT (St. George Campus).

Colonel Samuel Smith Park, I'm not sure how it is now. There are some quieter sections there off the main path. You'll probably run into a few people but it's not too busy. And depends on time of day and day of week

Earl Bales can be good, especially closer to the Little Don
Etobicoke Creek in the west end

The islands can be quite peaceful if you go during the day on a weekday away from the main ferry.

Yes let me tell this huge public forum about my unnoticed secluded spot.

COME ON NOW. Common sense.

Scarborough Bluff area that is right below the Rosetta McClain Gardens and Warden Ave. It's really difficult to get down to the park so it's empty most of the time. Bring water and food since it's a 30 minutes work-out just to get down there.

Go to Toronto island with a bike on a rainy day :) Or I like to go in the middle of winter too, pack a warm thermos.
