Port Clyde Trail
100 Lyles Road, Clyde River B0W 1R0 902 656-2793
The Port Clyde to Clements Pond Trailway is a shared multiuse trail beside the Nova Scotia Treasured Wetland Swaines Bog. The trail is 5.9 kilometers long between Port Clyde Hwy 309 to Highway 103 (kilometer 64) at Clements Pond (GPS 20T 0300700 4830500 and 20T 0296125 4828175) Wetlands along our trails at Swaines Bog have been designated as a Treasured Wetland by the provincial government because of the rare plants growing there (758.9 hectares at Coordinates: 43.5910, -65.4763). The first 200 meters from Hwy 309 is called Lyles Road. The next 600 meters of rail bed has been maintained very well by some adjacent property owners for access to several privately owned gravel pits. The 5.2 kilometers to Hwy 103 at kilometer marker 64 is developed and managed as shared multiuse trail passing through various types of coastal forest stands and wetlands. There are several memorial picnic benches along its length as well as a Ducks Unlimited / NS Department of the Environment photo post. At Hwy 103 the trail connects to the 10.4 kilometer of shared multiuse trail to Barrington Bay.
