With the good hiking weather
getting more sporadic we took advantage of the good weather on
There is lots of driftwood along the shore |
Heather checking out the Harlequin Ducks near the shore |
We saw many people on the
trail (many with dogs) and it is easy to follow. It winds through shore line
trees and in some places you can get down to the stony shoreline if you want.
There are large amounts of drift wood and we brought our binoculars along to
see what ducks were in the area. We saw many colourful harlequin ducks as well
as mallards closer to Oyster River. The trail is about 3.5 km one way so you
can either drop a car at each end or return via the way you walked to return to
your car. We opted for the later. Once you reach the Oyster River estuary the
trail leaves the ocean and winds through the trees to the Oyster River Nature
Park parking lot. Please respect the private land which the trail crosses.
The trail is broad and easy to follow |
