This two hour hiking trail is an absolute delight. The views of the cliffs and the sea are spectacular. Bring a picnic and spend the day in peace and quiet with nature at her very best.

This seaside and wooded walk offers a little bit of every good thing you want in a hike! Some challenges but nothing heart-stopping except the views.
Before visiting Newfoundland I was told this was a top 10 trail to walk in Canada. The trail is maintained well.There are some steep stairs but overall a comfortable moderate 5km hike if you don't rush it. The views were wonderful so it is hard to rush the walk! If you are lucky, you might see a whale or two.
Moderately difficult to do the entire 5km walk but for those with less time or less mobility the northern portion has dramatic coastal views and is easier to manage. You can double back or take the inland route to save time.

great 5 km hike - with breathtaking coastline views. The hike is easy for most folks, with some through the bush treks, and pathway stairs.
Awesome trail. Breathtaking views! We decided to do the trail since we were staying at Skerwink house which was right on the trail. We were not disappointed. The trail itself was really nicely laid out ad the views were magnificant!
Great views, good workout over about 5 km with some steep stairs but well maintained trail. A little mud but has walkways over swampy bits.
I really wanted to walk this trail after reading about it in the tourism book, was a bit nervous as it was rated mod- difficult, which in my part of the world (Bruce trail) would make it probably beyond my middle aged, arthritis capabilities. But thankfully it was quite doable, we met a lovely group of 3 on the trail,...
