Itinerary description

Unofficial ECT (2017) from Chance Cove (Chance Cove Provincial Park) to Cape Race (Cape Race Lighthouse). This is a largely unmarked, unmaintained, undeveloped and unmapped route.

As of Fall 2017, both the north and south ends of this trail are easy for several kilometers, but there is significant difficult bushwhacking with many blowdowns between Frenchman's Cove and Clam Cove - no trail exists in this middle 4 kilometer stretch.
