Atlantic View Trail Association
Eastern Shore community members began trail development for the Atlantic View Trail in 1999. The abandoned rail bed was seen as a golden opportunity to promote a safe, healthy, active transportation route and a great way to encourage tourism and protect the natural beauty of the area.
The Atlantic View Trail Association's goal is
- to manage a non-motorized nature trail for hiking, cycling, walking, running and cross country skiing
- to promote the conservation of the natural ecosystems, and provincial park which the trail passes through
