These trails are not all in this shape, just at the start. The Bluff Wilderness Hiking Trail is located on Crown Land just west of Halifax, Nova Scotia. It begins inside the Woodens River watershed and climbs onto the high ground (“The Bluff” ). The trailhead is located on the Beechville-Lakeside-Timberlea (BLT) trail at a point midway between the Hwy 103 overpass just south of Exit 4 and the northern tip of Cranberry Lake. The signs at the trailhead emphasize that this trail is for experienced hikers; they warn hikers of some of the potential dangers of wilderness hiking. Hikers should be alert since they will be traveling through bear and moose country. There are also coyotes. The trail is a wilderness trail, designed to challenge and delight the experienced hiker. Hikers should use caution at all times.
