Gunning Trail
- 3 km
- 1-1/2 to 2 hours
Traveling under the first arch of the Confederation Bridge, this trail takes you up the coast of Jourimain Island to a dramatic lookout at Gunning Point offering spectacular views of the bridge along the way. The trail loops through spruce forest and sunny openings full of wild roses. Lookouts over the dunes and brackish marsh provide good opportunities to observe some of the area's intriguing flora and fauna. Out on the Strait, sea ducks dive for mussels and gulls squabble over bits of food, shorebirds and dabbling ducks feed in the brackish marsh and warblers and song sparrows sing from fields and forest.
