Summer is the peak season on Prince Edward Island.
The Confederation Trail winds along the contours of the rolling terrain and is rarely straight for any great distance. It passes through farm fields, over bridges, along rivers and bays into small villages where you can pick up some fresh fruit or island baking. Two major sections of the trail lead to the east and west ends of the crescent-shaped island. Beginning at Mount Stewart, you can rent bicycles at the Trailside Cafe and cycle eastwards. In Crystal Springs, a unique tea room is nestled in the woods.
