This 3 kilometre trail meanders through the Applewood Hills Greenbelt. It follows the Little Etobicoke Creek, a tributary of the Etobioke Creek, from just norht of Dundas Street (close to the old village of Dixie) to Eastgate Parkway. Areas between the trail and the creek have been re-naturalized in an effort to sustain a healthy ecosystem.

Completed with pleasant diversions and footbridges, the trail passess near several playgrounds and parks. The largest is Rathwood District Park (north of Rathburn Road), which includes baseball, soccer and bocce facilities. The northwest corner of this park has a one hectare Sugar Maple and American Beech woodlot. In the Summer of 2003, a new playground was installed in Applewood Hills Park, close to the mid point of the trail.
