Reviews of Louisbourg Lighthouse Trail (Bakery)

Cynthia Lindell

Gorgeous, especially when stormy.

Frankie Lambe

Cant say enough. A must see when in the area. The waves crashing amazing. Well maintained paths and grounds but left very natural and undisturbed where it mattered. We love coming here every trip.

Beautiful easy trail, perfect for the whole family!

Lynne Morris

Be prepared for some wind! This spot is breathtaking; I never tire of it. Especially lovely to watch the evening sun dip west of the lighthouse, on the Fortress side of the harbour (but make sure you get off the trail before dark). The main trail is wheelchair accessible, though it can continue on quite far as more of a game trail to Gooseberry Cove if you cross the pebbly beach at the end.

Louisbourg Lighthouse trail is a rugid natural hiking experiance with incredible ocean scenery. It provides hours of enjoyable hiking along the coast. I highly recommend it as a tourist destination.

Beautiful!

Derrick Hill

Great views will groomed trail fun for all

Dylan Soo

A beautiful trail along the Atlantic leading back to Louisbourg from the Fortress. Get a different view of the Fortress and take a sear in one of the Parks Canada red chairs and listen to the ocean crash up on the shore.

All-weather tour place!!! Lighthouse is a sea-faced scenic beauty where we can enjoy whether it's summer ☀️, fall ???? or snow ????

This is most likely one of the greatest trails ever. There is so much nature to walk around in and the path is very well mantained this place is a great place to ride your bike or to take a nice long walk in the wilderness. By far one of the best things to do here.

Kay Holiday

This is one of the most beautiful place I have seen.

Daniela

Wonderful trail. We loved every single part of this trail. You can enjoy a beautiful sightseeing and the ocean is right there. We had an amazing experience.

This is a must do trail for anyone who loves in the area or looking to visit! One of our absolute favourites. Be sure to pack water a sweater and sunscreen. The fog rolls in quickly here but the weather can change in a dime. Along the outer perimeters of the trail there isn’t much coverage; and so, be such to take caution and apply sunscreen because you’ll likely get a sun burn. Also the trail goes much further than the rocky beach where most folks stop, but be careful if it rains it often does not dry up as quickly along the enclosed wooded trails so it can become swampy, muddy, messy etc. — but always fun!

Shane Hill

Take a dirt road down to a light house near the ocean. Be careful as there are cliffs with jagged rocks down below. There are walking trails there and you can see the Fortress on the other side of the bay.

Caroline Green

Michael Scott Burke

Nice spot easy trail but very long up to 10k. Very busy and easy for dogs. Lots of side trails and many nice views

Mike Howse

It was beautiful but could have been better without the fog. Obviously not the fault of the lighthouse.

Mirosław Ławczys

Nice addition to visit to Louisbourg fortress. Beautiful location. Interesting history.

Peter James

The best place to visit and spend your leisure time here. Hiking experience is pretty good

John Hill

A beautiful scenic walk along the shoreline with fantastic ocean views and of course a rustic amazing lighthouse. There is a leisure 1.5 km hike and a more challenging trek beyond that for more experienced hikers!

Judy Hussey

What Beauty.

Art Hill

We walked this trail right after a Noreaster storm, so the seas were especially strong and the waves crashing on the rocks were spectacular. This trail is well maintained and an easy walk. Just over 3 Km for the first loop, but you can extend the walk after you come to a stony beach if you continue to the left. There is no washroom at the start of the trail, but there is one a bit before you come to the Lighthouse. Definitely a trail worth walking.

Eli Jakeman

So picturesque.

Tara Deveaux

The trail is very well maintained sloppy in some parts after some rain. But the views and scenery make it worthwhile. I have been there before and will return :-)

Stewart Dueck

Great coastal waking trail. The first section of the trail is great for everyone. If you continue past the first beach it gets a bit more rough but views are amazing.

BRANDAN LEADBEATER (bL3AD)

THE MOST AMAZING VIEWS! Easy Hike, Easy to get to and very fun!

Jin Kim

Absolutely beautiful! Really can feel the "rugged beauty" that nova Scotia can offer

R. C.

This is a great trail.There is a picturesque lighthouse at the trail head. It has very scenic views of the Atlantic ocean. The first loop is 3 km. There are benches at multiple lookoffs along the trail. For the most part the trail is either wood boardwalk or crusher dust. There are lots of uphill and downhill sections. Highly recommend this trail.

Megan L

Great hiking trail with beautiful views. If you're checking out the lighthouse or in Louisbourg for the fortress, I definitely recommend taking some time to enjoy the scenery. After checking out Louisbourg fortress my boyfriend and I stopped in hopes for some nice pictures. I didn't know the trail was here but it was a welcome bonus. We had such a wonderful time.

Kyle T

The trail is very long and varied. You could go three days in a row and have a different experience each time, just from the different weather or times of the day.

Patrick Desrochers

Historical place. Hopefully you will have better view, not in fog.

A spectacular fall day hiking this trail; I was the only person who hiked out to Lorraine Head the day I was there...beautiful rugged scenery. Not a particularly difficult hike.

Selina Woodworth

Love this place so

Janet Shellnutt

This is an absolutely amazing place. So rugged and the waves crashing on the rocks is quite impressive. The trail follows the coastline closely and the view is dynamic. It is well groomed and has little benches placed along the way. Definitely worth visiting!

The oldest lighthouse on the east coast and the water crashing on the rocks was just outstanding.
