The park is home to a unique public art installation known as the 'Rainbow Tunnel' located inside a railway overpass.
The trail network here follows the historical flight path and migration routes of local avian species found in the Don River Valley.
The park is a critical part of the larger Don Valley ravine system, which acts as a natural flood control corridor for Toronto.
The trail connects directly to the larger East Don Trail, allowing for continuous off-road travel spanning several kilometers.
Moccasin Trail Park is a segment of the Don River Valley trail system located in North York, Toronto. The park is defined by a paved trail that traverses a forested ravine, connecting to the broader East Don Parkland network. The terrain features a significant descent into the valley followed by an ascent back to the neighborhood street level. It serves as a connector for cyclists and pedestrians traveling between the Don Valley Parkway and the adjacent residential areas. The landscape is characterized by mature deciduous trees and diverse riparian vegetation along the banks of the West Don River. Visitors can access the trail at multiple entry points along the ravine perimeter. The trail provides a direct link to the Charles Sauriol Conservation Area and other regional green spaces. It remains largely undeveloped, maintaining a naturalized environment within the urban landscape.

Attempting to access the trails during or immediately after heavy rainfall, as ravine paths may become muddy or slippery.
Cyclists must yield to pedestrians; keep dogs on a leash at all times to protect ravine wildlife.
