Please Support our Trail Maintenance Program

If you ride the Garnish - Point Rosie Trail, please note our sign to draw attention to our donation box. Trail maintenance is very expensive and we need the support of all trail users to keep it in good repair. If you ride our trail, please support the cause by joining our association. The annual fee is $35. You might also be able to purchase a Burin Peninsula Trailway Sticker from your local trail association for $30. And you can buy a day pass at either Senior's Seaside Convenience Store and Garnish StopSave. If neither of these appeal to you, please be prepared to put some cash in our donation box. We hope you enjoy your ride. And thank you for your support.

Be Advised: The bridge at Brown's Harbour on the Garnish - Point Rosie Trail is closed until further notice because it is unsafe. We will be looking for volunteer over the next two weeks to help to do repairs.

About Our Trail
Our trail system includes more than fifty kilometers of excavated trail bed, half of which travels the Garnish River and into the interior of the Burin Peninsula to Long Pond. The better known section of the trail travels twenty four kilometers along the coastline of Fortune Bay between Garnish and the resettled community of Point Rosie. That part of the trail travels gravel beaches, over headlands, around coves and through some forested areas. The lookouts along the way provide spectacular scenery. Wildlife such as bears, moose, caribou, eagles and shorebirds are common sights. In season, you can fish for trout or salmon, pick berries, swim, and picnic in isolated, yet easily accessibly scenic spots. You will find privies, gazebos and picnic tables. You can make the trip one-way in less than ninety minutes, but first timers along the trail usually take twice that amount of time, stopping often to marvel at the sights along the way. Most who make the trip, return to do it again. At the end of the trail is the cabin community of Point Rosie. Going on a journey down the trail is an exciting and fun experience, one the whole family will enjoy. Travelling anywhere can sometimes be stressful, specially in the days where we're all hunting for cheap airfare. This is a fun alternative for those who prefer keeping their feet on the ground. Feel free to tackle the trail with a variety of vehicles or simply by foot, and enjoy the scenery and the sense of accomplishment when you finish your journey. The trail is traveled year round by ATVs and by snowmobiles in winter. The trails into the interior are very popular snowmobile trails January through March. Garnish to Point Rosie - 24 kms We are part of the Burin Peninsula Trailway. No Need to stop at Point Rosie, any more. You can continue down the Burin Peninsula Trailway on to the Powderhorn Mountain, Boat Harbour and as of 2010, as far as Parker's Cove. See the map below. One way, the trip is 84 kilometers. A warning: Beyond Point Rosie the Trailway is still under construction and is a work in progress. Travel at your own risk.
