Dunes Trail

The trail that starts at the Dunes Trail Parking Lot.

This 2.5km. linear trail takes you to ancient post-glacial sand dune which was formed 11,800 years ago. The bike free trail will take 1.5 hours to walk. The dune is a fragile environment and we ask that you do not climb the hillside or descend the bluff face to the lower park.

The trail passes an abandoned farm built by Thomas Newberry in 1902 and later sold to Eugene Robitaille in the 1918.

Today, remains of stone from the home and barn foundations can been seen from the trail.
