The Lake to Lake Cycling Route and Walking Trail will be a 121 km recreational and commuter trail connecting Lake Simcoe to Lake Ontario. It will form a key spine of York Region and the City of Toronto's active transportation network providing new opportunities for both recreational and commuter traffic to explore the region and to travel on dedicated and comfortable cycling and pedestrian infrastructure.

In Richmond Hill, the Lake to Lake route will span 14 km in a north-south direction from Bloomington Road to Highway 7, connecting with planned sections of the Lake to Lake Route in Aurora and Markham. As of January 2017, 4 km of the route within Richmond Hill are complete.
