Section 5

Section 4: Summerside

Summerside to Wellington

22 km, 6 to 8 hours, rated easy to moderate. Flat terrain.

A quiet walk along the tree-lined Confederation Trail. This walk includes the longest straight stretch on the Confederation Trail – 11 km!

As you leave Summerside, the City by the Sea, you will trade stunning ocean views for the glorious feeling of the trees hugging in on you! The walk from Summerside to Wellington is a quiet tree-lined 22 km trek on the Confederation Trail. This segment is the longest, straightest stretch on the Confederation Trail – 11 km.

A packed lunch is recommended for this section as there will be no eating establishments until you get to the Acadian community of Wellington. Once in Wellington, you’ll be able to enjoy dinner at Chez Char, La Lobster Shack, or Wellington Pizza & Seafood. You’ll also find a CO-OP in Wellington which will allow you to stock up on essential supplies if needed! If you have some extra time, Wellington is a small but sweet community to explore!
