Description:

The coolest part of the Chapel Gully Trail is that you to hike on the easternmost point of mainland North America. Named for the Star of the Sea Church, which is near the start of the trail, this trail offers rugged ocean coastline, tidal flats, boreal forest, and a burned area that is replenishing itself in jack pine.

Designed as three loops, walkers may choose a length comfortable for them: 1.5km (1mi), 4km (2.5mi), or 5km (3.5mi). There are lots of benches and picnic tables in several locations, including the long bridge spanning Chapel Gully. The path works past the site of the former "Pest House", along the way interpretive panels explain how the "Pest House" was once used as a segregation compound during the early 1800s.
