Before As you walk along the abandoned rail line through Cole Harbour, you will see wild gardens more stunning than any cultured garden, taste a variety of wild berries, hear the songs of a multitude of birds back-dropped by the ocean's roar, smell the sea laden breeze, and feel a sense of tranquillity and solitude. Not only a nature lover's delight, this area is rich in the heritage of the people. With stories of building dikes, farms to feed the poor, and how the tracks were built, the area offers a rich and colourful history. The recreational opportunities offered by this discarded corridor are exceptional.
Seniors can casually walk.
Young families can enjoy uninterrupted quality time together. Cyclists can pedal knowing they are safe. Cross country skiers can enjoy their sport with out having to drive for two hours. Even those with wheelchairs or with strollers can enjoy this trail. All of this at a cost that everyone can afford, and it's only minutes from the core of the city.
