Edit: as of March 2021 the lower part of this segment is closed due to O-train construction. It's not clear if it's totally closed, and if/when it will re-open. 

If you're looking for an alternate route through Vincent Massey this is a great option. This is a dirt utility road that starts near the O-Train bridge and passes around the top of the park.
