Liscomb River Trail

Directions:

Liscomb Lodge is located approximately 12km (7.5mi) east of Ecum Secum, or approximately 27km (17mi) west of Sherbrooke on highway 7.

Description:

This is a fairly rugged trail, with many rocks and outcroppings, following the river from Liscomb Lodge to an old dam 4km (2.5mi) inland. A fish ladder has been carved into the rocky hillside, its curving path was once a trail followed by returning salmon to reach their spawning grounds upstream in the provincially-protected Liscomb River Wilderness Area. A suspension bridge spans the narrow canyon below a small waterfall, permitting a return hike along the opposite shore from your approach. This is one of the few bridges of its type in the province, and the hike is worth undertaking for this reason alone.
