Fantastic trail to see the amazing beauty of the Newfoundland coast and diversity of landscape. Did it with a 12 year old and it was totally fine. Great vistas - with whales traveling the coast. You can pop onto the trail at different spots so make sure you know where you are when you enter - if you don't go from the parking lot!

Fox Island Trail

A 5.5 km hike. It is rated as being easy-moderate in difficult. The trail is a loop that displays the beautiful coastal scenery, views of the surrounding communities and local wildlife. The last portion of the Trail takes you through the fishing village of Champney’s West and along back trail for more spectacular coastal scenery. By choosing the alternate route off Trail and through the community you will increase the difficulty. The Trail goes past the fishing stages and wharf of Champney's West. These images have been included in provincial commercials and advertisements. You may even find an opportunity to chat to a local resident.
