Hike The Discovery Trail Hiking along rugged coastline, you will have the opportunity to view icebergs, whales, seabirds, and of course, spectacular seascapes while appreciating the solitude of the trails. The coastline has formed the focus of life along the Discovery Trail, and as such, an intimate rela- tionship exists with it. Hikers can retrace four centuries of settlement and subsistence along the coastline of our ancestors as they gathered berries, hunted seabirds and communicated with neighbouring outport communities. The trails have been designed for the walker and hiker. Several trails are less than 5 km in length, to a maximum Include round-trip of 17 km.
