Old Petty Harbour Road follows one of the area’s historic inland routes, connecting the hills above St. John’s to the fishing community of Petty Harbour–Maddox Cove. The path moves through classic Newfoundland terrain — wooded sections, open barrens, boggy patches, and steady elevation changes — with several spots offering views toward Motion Bay and the surrounding ridgelines. It’s a quieter alternative to the nearby East Coast Trail segments, making it a good choice for a peaceful walk with local history and rugged inland scenery.
