Description

The wide, gravel trail travels along an old railbed for 600 meters. It travels along several back yards before coming out to a lookout on the Scoudouc River. The lookout overlooks the abutments from the old train bridge that used to cross the river here. The river is wide and tidal here making it a popular place for kayaking.
