Sugarloaf Mountain Trail

A locally beloved short hike up Sugarloaf, the cone-shaped peak at the north end of Aspy Bay. The trail starts near Cabot's Landing and climbs through hardwood to a bare summit with full views of the bay, the Atlantic, and the road north.

On the trail

About a 1.5 km one-way climb with steady elevation gain. Mostly forested until the open summit. Ribbons mark the route in places where it gets faint.

What you'll see

• Aspy Bay sweeping below you
• The Highlands rolling west toward Pleasant Bay
• The fishing boats out of Bay St. Lawrence

What to bring

• Sturdy footwear, water, layers for the summit wind

Combine it with

• A swim at Cabot's Landing right after
• The drive north to White Point and Money Point
