East Coast Trail, Newfoundland

The 336-kilometer East Coast Trail winds its way down Newfoundland's eastern coast, with some sections hugging the rugged shoreline and others meandering past charming towns. There are over 336 kilometers of trail to explore. When you're there, visit abandoned settlements, lighthouses, natural reserves, seabird colonies, whales, icebergs, the world's southernmost caribou herd, historic landmarks, a 50-meter suspension bridge, and two active archaeological dig sites, and more.

Most people choose to hike specific parts of the East Coast Course rather than the entire trail. From super easy walks to tough excursions that will challenge experienced adventurers, there's something for everyone. Try the Silver Mine Head Path, a seven-kilometer out-and-back trail that runs along a sandy beach, through the woods, and across a river. The White Horse Path, a steep 18.2-kilometer (one way) hike with wonderful views of the coast, is a true challenge.
