Section 22-23

Section 22: Mossey Beach

Elmira to Bothwell

22 km, 6 to 8 hours, rated easy to moderate. Mostly flat terrain with a few rolling hills.

If you are travelling in the summer months, be sure to check out the Elmira Train Museum, where you can enjoy a refreshing ice cream cone. Leaving Elmira, you can take a road walk past North Lake, or you can slip down to East Point. There you will see an Island phenomenon, the meeting of the ocean tides at East Point which is spectacular to see. You will also want to keep your eyes open for possible seal sightings! When you arrive at the East Point Lighthouse, you can enjoy a nice lunch in the cafe located inside the lighthouse before taking a road walk to Bothwell.
