Great trail and beautiful sights. Parts of the trail go through some marsh so water resistant shoes are definitely a must.

An amazing part of an amazing island. Sea stacks, wildlife, good trails. We saw an Osprey on its nest and sometimes you might spot icebergs and whales here too! Rock cut trails maintain a whole network of trails over on the Wilder side of South twillingate island and basically whichever way you want to go, they've got a trail for you.
