Fairmont Ridge Trail

The Fairmont Ridge Hiking Trail System will appeal to both experienced hikers and those out for a Saturday stroll. Those desiring a good trek will “enjoy” the 370m (1200ft) climb over the full hike, up steep ridges and into deep ravines. Less experienced outdoors people will appreciate that there is a map sign found at every trail junction, and that you are never more than 800m/yd from any one of them. Many route options are available with this interconnected design of trail network, with the longest route available totaling 11-km (7-mi). Fairmont Ridge offers marvelous views of Antigonish Harbour, St. George's Bay, and Cape Breton from numerous locations along the route.
