Listing Description:
The Pomquet Acadian Trails, situated in Pomquet, Nova Scotia, provide an excellent opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the region. The trail system comprises 6 km of hiking trails that run along the shores of St. George’s Bay, both coastal and inland. The trailhead can be found at Chez Deslauriers and is marked by a large map depicting the trail system. The trail system includes 3 stacked loops and a 1 km linear coastal trail.
The trails offer a variety of sights, including 20-meter-high limestone and gypsum cliffs overlain by glacial till, a barachois pond surrounded by cranberry plants, 150-200-year-old white pine trees, various stages of forest succession, a glacial erratic transported some 2 km by glaciers, and views of Cape Breton Island in the distance. The beach along the trail system is accessible via stairs approximately 0.5 km north of Chez Deslauriers and at the barachois pond. The trail system is open to users throughout the year.
