Activities Home Hiking
Hiking is an activity enjoyed by a lot of people. If you are one of these people then the Codroy Valley and surrounding area has a lot to offer you. While on your trek, you may want to take in the Starlite and Wreckhouse Trails. The Starlite Trail is a well marked trail to the top of the Long Range Mountains or Branch off around the side of the mountain to Campbell's Brook. Rest and Picnic areas. The return trip will take approximately two hour. The Wreckhouse Trail, located approximately 20 kilometers northwest of Port aux Basques is the home of some of the strongest winds of the world. Southeast winds funneling down from the 1700_foot Long Range Mountains reach speeds of up to 150 km/hr, playing havoc with transportation in the area. In the past, the high winds blew rail cars completely off the tracks that ran at a right angle to the direction of the wind. It takes about 4 hours to walk across coastal lowland barrens and travel this gulch. Nearby Cape Ray has a spectacular sand beach that attracts shore birds. |
