Trail Overview
Running from north to south, Beeswanger Trail is an unmaintained road that crosses private property and enters Nova Scotia Crown Land (Please stay on the trail!) The first 3.3 miles are mostly a tight trail with some rock gardens and a few washouts that are passable by Jeep but can be challenging in slippery conditions. Early in the trail, there is an abandoned rail line to cross and a very narrow land dam, which is the namesake of the trail, Beeswanger Da. After the first 3.3 miles, the road surface improves to an unmaintained gravel/rock road with a few washouts. A large portion of this trail has brush and branches hanging into the trail, and pinstriping is highly likely.
Difficulty
This trail has tight trees and obstacles including a land bridge that is very narrow. It is passable by Jeep but midsize trucks may have trouble in the tight trees. There are a few washouts and rock gardens with no bypass as well as a few water holes and some off camber sections that require caution. The abandoned rail tracks can be difficult to cross for short wheelbase vehicles.
