New section added to the East Coast Trail

A new section has been added to the East Coast Trail.

The new extension is 52 kilometres long and runs from Topsail Beach to Cape St. Francis.

The East Coast Trail is a 336 km pedestrian coastal trail that runs along the eastern edge of the Avalon Peninsula between Topsail Beach and Cappahayden.

The trail has existed since 1994 when 80 volunteers opened 25 km of trail.
