The path once connected two small fishing communities: Bakers Brook and Green Point. It leads you by cobble beaches and through short but dense coastal forests known locally as “tuckamore.” It’s a perfect trail for enjoying coastal landscapes, ocean breezes, and views of the setting sun. Tuckamore is the Newfoundland word for the stunted trees that grow along the coast and in alpine areas. Frost and wind nip back the trees’ exposed branches, giving them their wind-swept profile.
Trail notes:
Start this trail from Baker’s Brook parking lot, 10 km north of Rocky Harbour on Route 430.
This trail follows the old winter mail road along the coast between Baker’s Brook and Green Point.
The long cobble beach, small ponds, and coastal tuckamore provide a pleasant variety of habitats.
