Salmon Pools Trail
Chéticamp
Note des voyageurs TripAdvisor
À propos
Ideal for a fitness walk or a stroll, this level trail follows the bottom of the Chéticamp river canyon with cliffs almost 400 metres (1300 ft.) high towering above. The First Pool is about 3.6 km up the Chéticamp River. The trail narrows and continues to Chance Pool where polished exposed bedrock makes a great location for a picnic.
Walk on through the forest and along the river, past gravel bars interspersed with rapids and deeper pools, for another 600 m where the trail currently ends.
Watch for Atlantic salmon in the deeper pools. Mountain bikes are permitted, but there are rough sections. Listen for barred owls at dusk.

Check in at the Parks Canada visitor centres in Chéticamp (16 Visitor Centre Rd., situated on the west side of the park) or in Ingonish (37637 Cabot Trail, on the east side of the park) to obtain passes, information on visitor safety and any other information you may need, including a trail location map.

- Do not approach, disturb or feed wild animals.

- Bring insect repellent as black flies and mosquitoes are common all summer.
- Mountain bikes are permitted only where indicated, for public safety and protection of the environment.
- Stay on designated trails and boardwalks to protect fragile vegetation.
- Do not throw food or scraps along the trails or roads.
