Embark on the enchanting Pumley Cove Trail where stunning coastal views await. This scenic pathway offers glimpses of icebergs often caught nearby, adding a touch of Arctic majesty to your hike.
Pause at the charming gazebo along the trail and consider continuing on a more challenging backcountry excursion along the Goose Cape Peninsula. Immerse yourself in the serene ambiance of the coastline and wilderness as you explore this picturesque trail.
For those seeking a longer route, Pumley Cove Trail connects directly to Goose Cape Trail, a more rugged and scenic backcountry route that continues across the peninsula. From there, seasoned hikers can eventually loop back toward Back Cove Trail, creating an extended adventure through dramatic coastal terrain, windswept ridgelines, and secluded wilderness views.
