You may have heard, or not. That this
hiking trailing/ area is in jeopardy of being wiped out by a new development within
the HRM. I am not here to take a stance either way. Arguments can be made for
both sides. All I really want to say is, I did the hike. It is an incredible
view of a large portion of HRM. I highly recommend you get out and do it. Especially
if there is a chance it will not be around forever. Read the full story here, http://thechronicleherald.ca/community/halifax/1207117-halifax-park-in-limbo
One major issue with this hike, and the
whole park area in general is there is little info about it. It was not the
easiest to find (even though its minutes outside of the city). The trail head
is at the end of a residential road that offers basically no parking (you can
park on the road). Also you need to basically trespass through a private
woodlot in order to get to the trail that takes you up the back side of the
mountain (mountain being a reasonable hill). Basically you can really tell that
the area is in limbo, and a decision on what to do with it has not been made.
That is all I really have to say about that,
I will lay out some pics to show you the trail head, and some guiding photos to
get you to the top. ENJOY! And GET OUT AND HIKE!
I will post the driving directions at the bottom.
