Trail Description:
Explore the many dirt roads and trails that lead from the end of Shoal Bay Road to the ocean. There are several forks and connecting singletrack trails that can be put together for a longer ride. Most of the trails are rocky and there is a long downhill on the way out which is then a long climb on the way back. The trails tend to not be overly difficult but can be for the noive riders. More conditioned cyclist can put on the miles by doing multiple loops.
How to get there:
Drive on route 10 from St. John's through The Goulds and turn left onto Shoal Bay Road which is just past the race track. Park at the end of the paved road and find the trails.
Additional Notes:
Spectacular ocean view, whales and icebergs in the summer, lots of blueberries late summer and early
