プリンス・エドワード島での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

With parking just off MacKinnon Road, Main Trail serves as an entrance to the Bonshaw Provincial Park trails. From there the trail connects with Howell’s Hollow Trail and the rest of the Bonshaw trails.

Here the West River branches off into Howell's Brook, which runs parallel to Howell’s Hollow Trail for a while along the southern edge of the loop. There is a bench here where you can take a break and enjoy some clear views of the brook.

This is a protected wetland area that many birds call home. You’ll often see ducks, geese, and herons in or near the vegetation along this section of the boardwalk.

At the end of the Summerside Baywalk, you will find this great viewpoint where you can pause on a bench to watch across Bedeque Bay toward the harbour and passing boats. If you can, try to get here around sunset for an especially beautiful view of the bay.

This lighthouse is one of two active range beacons built in 1991 to help guide vessels into the outer approaches of Summerside Harbour. They are modern lights and have never had lighthouse keepers. It is a cool feature along the boardwalk and are a great place to stop for a photo.

Trail 3 is a highlight among the Cardigan Trails. It is a beautiful forest loop with views of the river peeking out as it skirts the water. At its northern end, it connects back to trail 2, which leads back towards the trailhead.

Along the south side of the Cardigan River Trail, there are some overlooks with great views of the river. These are great spots for birdwatching or a short pause to take in the view.

This main trailhead for the Cardigan Trails is located just behind the ball diamond off Chapel Road, and there is roadside parking right by the field. From here you can jump onto any of the mixed-use trails, through the woods and along the Cardigan River. Mountain biking is allowed here when there is no snow, and in winter cross-country skiing is permitted.
