Coxheath Hills Wilderness Trail


1580 Coxheath Road


Overview

Head out on this 6.8-km loop trail in Coxheath, Nova Scotia. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 2 h 3 min to complete. There are shorter loops available to walk which can take as little as 45 min. This is a popular trail for birding and hiking and snowshoeing but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. There are some really beautiful look-out spots along the trail where you will get to see a vista of Sydney and the surrounding areas. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. 

For a great day out, plan a hike on one of our trails, followed by one of our wonderful community events at our Community Centre.
