Hiking and Walking

Batrix/Barrick’s Island, Twillingate

Duration: 1 hr

Difficulty level: moderate

• Turn from Main Street onto the Back Harbour Road until you reach a T-intersection.
• Turn right onto Dock Road until you see a larger fishing wharf where you can park.
• The trail begins to the left of the wharf.

What once was an island where families lived in the previous century, is now connected to the main island by a sandy beach.

A hike up the hill will lead to expansive views of Notre Dame Bay.

The last part up to the top is steep and there may be some loose gravel. Wear hiking boots and take water. Leave a bit of extra time for exploring the beach!
