Hike the Trail
Hiking from December to April
Trail Structures & Trail Bed
Trail structures & the trail bed along Mickeleens, Beaches, Caplin Bay, and Island Meadow Paths require repair. Hikers will encounter greater than normal areas of wet and muddy trail and deteriorated trail structures. An assessment of these paths is ongoing, and work will be scheduled based on funding availability. Please use extra caution when hiking these paths.
Piccos Ridge Path: Portugal Cove to Bauline – Maps 2.1 & 2.2
This is one of our most strenuous paths. Some hikers will be challenged by steep areas at Black Cliff and Brock’s Head. Hikers should exercise caution on these slopes.
White Horse Path: Bauline to Cape St. Francis – Maps 3.1 & 3.2
This is one of our most strenuous paths. Be prepared for a long hike. A remote campground, including 5 tent platforms and 1 toilet, is available at Patch Brook.
Father Troys Trail: Flatrock to Torbay – Map 6
Hikers who wish to access Father Troys Trail in the Town of Flatrock must use the Wade’s Lane entry point. The access point through Wharf Road is temporarily closed by the Town as a result of a mid-December storm that damaged the wharf and boat launch faciliity, and left large stones over the road and across the old shoreline route that hikers were using to access Father Troy’s Trail.
The Town Council has placed barriers across Wharf Road and asks for your cooperation as a safety precaution. The Wade’s Lane access is only 10-15 metres further along the main road and you can drive your vehicle to the end of Wade’s Lane, where a large parking area is available for hikers.
