The Musquodoboit Trailway

We decided to go biking at the Musquodoboit Trailway today.
The weather was 21-25 degrees with a light breeze- perfect for biking!

The Musquodoboit Trailway begins at the Caboose Information Centre at the Musquodoboit Railway Museum, crosses highway 357, passes the arena and ball fields and links up with the official trailhead by the parking lot on Park Road.  The 130 foot trestle bridge offers a scenic view of the Musquodoboit river.



The trail is gravel and nice and wide for people passing. There are washrooms in the parking lot but for some reason they weren’t open today... not a wise decision on a long weekend, in my humble opinion. But don’t dismay- there are outhouses along the trail that are always open it seems.
The trail winds by river, marsh and hillside and is scenic and lovely. We had frogs hop past us on the trail, saw bluejays, chickadees, and heard the Autumn sounds of crickets buzzing happily.
There are a lot of benches for resting as well if you decided to walk the trail.
