North Miquelon – A86 (Former Store) to A85 (Miquelon Park) (10:30 Start)

Since this is Mother’s Day, we’ll start with the ‘Mother’s Day Breakfast’ at the Spilstead Community Hall (20502 Township Road 502, corner of Township Road 502/Range Road 205), meeting at the community hall for breakfast. We’ve delayed the hike start to 10:30 to accommodate those going to the breakfast.

Those just want to hike can meet us in the parking lot at the Spilstead Community Hall at 10:30. There is limited parking at the trailhead along Township Road 500 (~3km from the community hall), so to minimize the number of vehicles near the trailhead we may carpool from the community hall. 

The hike will start beside the site of the former store (A86), initially going past a new pond that cut through our trail, then on to St. FX Lookout, Erickson’s Curvert and into Miquelon Provincial Park where we’ll stop for lunch at one of the campsites. Pictures from September 22nd, 2024. The beavers are always active around the new pond, so the first ¾km may have some deadfall to stopover but after that it will be smooth sailing.
