Great hike, kind of like 5 hikes in one.....terrain goes from lush, moss, forest, canopy, to top of mountain open air. Great views of Cheticamp (make sure you do trail counter-clockwise to see views coming back down). Takes about 2-3 hours depending on how fast you go. Wild blueberries on the top! Wonderful hike close to the village of Cheticamp.

We were in the area, and happened upon by accident. I had always wanted to go there so we stopped. It’s a fairly easy walk in. One part is a bit of an incline, but wide and open. It’s worth it. The water is amazing to see and in September was still quite warm. It’s such a cool place to see. Not really the setting for “a day at the lake” as there is not a lot of shore for multiple people but a very cool experience!!!!
