Directions:

25 km southwest of Liverpool off Highway 103 at the end of St.Catherine's River Road.

Description:

There are two trails to choose from: Harbour Rocks Trail & Port Joli Head Trail. The park is day use only, camping is available at Thomas Raddall Provincial Park, a short drive away. The Parks arrival facilities are wheel chair accessible, however the hiking trails are not.

Harbour Rocks Trail is 5.2 km return trip which starts at the parking lot, passing through mixed forest. This trail follows the shoreline to the western end of St. Catherines River beach. Expect to see hundreds of harbour seals lying on the rocks just off the trail and is also a great location for bird watching. There are lots of signs of former community there with stone fences, rock foundations, old clearings, and cattle trails. Due to the nesting habits of the endangered Piping Plover, approximately two thirds of the St. Catherine's River Beach is closed to the public between late April and mid August.

The Port Joli Head Trail branches from the Harbour Rocks Trail, crosses a large bog on a boardwalk, passes near small patches of forest, follows the edge of the coast to Port Joli Head. Then the trail loops along the coastline past Isaacs Harbour, MacLeods Cove & Boyds Cove to Harbour Rocks an 8.7km hike beginning at the parking lot. Along the coast watch for seals, eider ducks and cormorants on the ocean; sandpipers, yellowlegs and piping plovers on the shore. The trails are gravelled, well-signed, with comfort stations, viewing stations, and interpretive panels available.

There is no maintenance schedule during Winter. All dogs must be on a leash throughout the park.
