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.


General Notice Re: Trail Structures & Trail Bed

Hikers will encounter greater than normal amount of fallen trees due to recent high winds, as well as areas of wet and muddy trail and deteriorated trail structures throughout the trail system. An assessment of individual paths is ongoing, and repair work will be scheduled based on priority and funding availability.  Because of these conditions we ask that you please use extra caution when hiking the trail. Sections of Stiles Cove, Beaches, Tinkers Point, Bear Cove Point and Island Meadow paths are highlighted as needing specific attention.

Cobblers Path: Outer Cove to Logy Bay – Map 8

Parking space for the Cobblers Path trailhead at Doran’s Lane is limited. Parking is permitted only on one side of Doran’s Lane between May 1 to October 31, and care must be taken to not restrict access to private driveways. If you wish to start you hike at the Doran’s Lane trailhead, and no parking space is available, the ECTA and the Town of Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove request that you use the designated parking lot on Cobblers Crescent, and arrange for someone to provide a drop-off or pick-up service when entering or exiting the path at Doran’s Lane. To reach the parking lot on Cobblers Crescent, turn off Marine Drive onto Red Cliff Road, then turn onto Cobblers Crescent. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sounding Hills Path: Ferryland to Aquaforte – Map 22

This path has been closed at the trailhead in Ferryland due to a conflict with the landowner in that area. However, it is still possible to hike from the Aquaforte trailhead as far as Herring Cove and return to Aquaforte rather than proceed to Ferryland.
