The Silver Mine Head Path is a coastal trail with several dramatic viewpoints over Middle Cove. The trail follows parts of an old mining access road and overlooks breathtaking headlands and crashing surf. The name comes from historic silver exploration in the 1800s, but no mine was ever built. The best time to visit is in summer and early fall, when the weather is least windy. Bring binoculars to watch birds, amphibians, and mammals in the forests or the seashore below.
