Trail Information
Sunday, September 15, 2024 – 9:00am
From the Meat Cove Welcome Center the trail climbs up the old Fraser Road, joins the Lowland Cove Road and continues upward for about 2 km. Looking behind one can catch views of the Cabot Straight and St. Paul Island. As the road crests the top of the cape and begins to descend, we take a trail to the right and drop down to Cape St. Lawrence about another 2 km. On the way down we pass several ponds and catch views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. One can find the old telegraph line that once connected the Cape St. Lawrence to Meat Cove. We’ll eat lunch in the shelter of the old lighthouse foundations. Imagine a school and farms that were once here. We rejoin our incoming trail and continue back to Meat Cove.
Caution: The weather conditions may change. Cape St. Lawrence may be cool and windy. Take layers and wear good footwear. Be prepared!
