After touring Joggins Fossil Cliff, we drove south toward Eatonville to hike at Cape Chignecto Provincial Park. The park opened in 1998 and is the largest wilderness park in Nova Scotia.

We threw the truck into four-wheel drive to make it up the fairly steep, bumpy road with lots of loose dirt and gravel. I wouldn’t recommend it for drivers with lower vehicles.

The Eatonville Visitor Centre was open then and we got some free posters and a few t-shirts. I’ve since read that it is closed, but the trails are still open. While we were hiking we also met a very nice man from Montreal who recommended a place to eat in Advocate – The Wild Carroway. We did actually end up eating there and it was excellent!

We hiked the upper trail, the Three Sisters Trail Look-Off Loop, which gave us fantastic views of Anderson’s Cove, Eatonville Harbour and the Three Sisters sea stacks. Arriving during high tide we go to enjoy watching it go back out.

If we had arrived earlier we would have loved to hike the other trail too. The Squally Point Trail Look-Off Loop is supposed to have even more beautiful scenery with boardwalks and views of the raised beach at the point.
