Tips from locals
Gorgeous hike with stunning views at the top. 3 to 4 hours roundtrip but not too rigorous.
Experience the natural wonder of the Bay of Fundy from the dramatic cliffs of Cape Split. Hike through mixed forests to lookoffs with stunning views of the tide-swept coastline. At the peninsula tip, the trail opens into a meadow revealing iconic sea stacks and basalt pinnacles carved by the power of the world’s highest tides. Cape Split Provincial Park is the most ecologically intact portion of the North Mountain, a ridge of basalt that defines the northern border of the Annapolis Valley. This 450-hectare area was designated a Provincial Park in 2019 and protects cultural sites of significance to the Mi’kmaq and natural wonders of rare plants and old-growth forest.

Two hour hike one way. Definitely worth the destination and a great! Give yourself enough time to return before dark. It's hard to see in the woods after dusk.
