Directions

There are several access points to the Bonshaw Trails. The most popular is the parking lot on highway 1 at the bottom of the hill next to the West River.

A second option is to turn onto Green Road on the other side of the river. After 1 km the road turns sharply to the left. There is a walking bridge crossing the river on the right that enters the park.

Green Road Access Bridge

The third way to access the park is at the top of the hill towards Charlottetown. Turn left onto Route 245 (Across from the entrance to Strathgartney Provincial Park), then after less than 1 km turn left onto MacKinnon Lane where you will find more parking.
