Salmon Pool - 9:00 am.
Ideal for a
fitness walk or a stroll, this level trail follows the
bottom of the Chéticamp
river canyon with cliffs almost 400 metres (1300 ft.)
high towering above. The First Pool is about 3.6 km up
the Chéticamp
River. The trail narrows and continues to Chance Pool
where polished exposed bedrock makes a great location
for a picnic. At the Second Pool the trail narrows to
the Third Pool which marks the end of the trail. Watch
for Atlantic salmon in the deeper pools. Mountain bikes
are permitted, but there are rough sections. Listen for
barred owls at dusk. 12.2 km.
3-4 hours.
