The 110-kilometre (68 miles) Harvest Moon Trailway stretches across the Annapolis Valley through beautiful towns along the former railbed, connecting the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Grand Pré to the historic seaside town of Annapolis Royal.

An iconic provincial coastal landmark overlooking the Bay of Fundy and its mesmerizing tides. Enjoy a moderately challenging backcountry hike as the trail opens out to a lookoff 60 metres (200 ft.) above the rugged coast of the bay. The trail is about 6 km (4 mi.) one way and hikers should plan on 2.5 to hours to make the return trip.

Prior to heading out on the trail, users are advised to tell someone where they are and when they expect to return home. Users are advised to stay on the trail. Cliffs are actively eroding and unstable so keep well back from the edge. Shoreline exploration is NOT recommended as incoming tides are fast, strong and unpredictable. Plan to return to the trailhead before dusk. Remember it will get dark earlier on the trail under the dense canopy of trees.

Hikers should wear sturdy footwear and layered clothing as weather and temperatures can change quickly. Carry plenty of drinking water and bring along snacks and sun protection. Please respect this natural area. Pack out all garbage and keep pets leashed at all times. Toilets are located at the trailhead with a seasonal composting toilet located about 1.5 km along the trail so plan accordingly. No campfires, no camping, and no hunting. The park is not staffed so users must call 911 in case of an emergency. Open year round from dawn until dusk daily.

Parking for this trail is down the road from the trailhead! Walk back 420 metres towards Kentville to a 9 ft wide path and iron gates with a sign saying "No parking" on it. The road goes through a softwood forest. About 800 metres later the trail entrance will be to the right. Just after starting on the path there is a bridge across the stream taking you onto a raised dyke. Next is an open field with a dam on the right and a lake on the left. The path is pretty easy to follow but there are points where one may have to walk on the banks of the canal.

Look for the trout bridge and many ponds, dykes and lakes along the way. There are also many animals living in this area including falcon, loons, muskrats, squirrels and deer. Many people like to come here to fish. The trail can be followed further but however it becomes very overgrown and hard to follow.

You can continue to Little River Lake which is close to South Mountain Park where there is a convenience store, camping, a restaurant and a telephone. To get there, travel approximately 5 km back towards Kentville on route 12 from the trailhead.
