East Coast Trail
The epic East Coast Trail now stretches 220km from Fort Amherst in St John's south to Cappahayden; an additional 300km will be developed eventually. It is part easy coastal walking, part tough wilderness trail. Maps are available at Outfitter's (220 Water St), Downhome (303 Water St) and the trail website, which also has information on free weekly guided hikes. An excellent stretch runs along the coast from Cape Spear.
