Trail Overview

Old forest road that starts in the Cape Breton highlands down to Foot Cape. From the highlands side, the first half of the road is smooth with occasional puddles and potholes up to 4in deep with beautiful scenery. As the elevation drops the road becomes narrow, and steep with obstacles of soft earth ruts up to 6in deep, loose gravel, paired with tight switchbacks. Note; some portions of this road are becoming overgrown.
