Atantic View Trail in Lawrencetown

Get Out and Check Out the Atlantic View Trail

Eastern Shore community members began trail development for the Atlantic View Trail in 1999.  They recognized the abandoned rail bed as a golden opportunity to promote a safe, healthy active transportation route and a great way to encourage tourism and protect the natural beauty of the area.

The Atlantic View Trail Association's goal is two fold: to manage a non-motorized nature trail for hiking, cycling, walking, running and cross country skiing. And secondly, to promote the conservation of the natural ecosystems, and provincial park which the trail passes through.
