Hiking Trails of PEI Book

Description

The Beach Grove Trail travels around a small field that overlooks North River. The trail is cement blocks around this field. There are several benches and monuments along the trail. At the edge of the field the trail turns to crushed rock, crosses a small bridge and enters a beautiful hardwood stand. There are several benches in the woods on the left overlooking the river. A small access trail allows you to get down on the beach.

Beach Grove Trails

Turning right at the first junction in the woods will take you through the beautiful grove of hardwoods. You will pass by several monuments on your way to Maypoint Road.

You can also continue through the woods along North River and come out into a large field. The mowed trail loops around this large field that is filled with young trees. The trees have been planted as part of the Upton Farmland Confederation Forest.
