Catch The Vision Hike to White Flag

On Friday February the 19th a dozen or more members of the Musquodoboit Harbour Trailways Association met for Coffee before leaving on a hike to the top of White Flag.

White Flag is a high granite ridge which gives a view of the surrounding area as far as the open ocean on the East and Gibraltar Rock on the West side.

winterIn spite of wet weather and driving rain the participants were detemined to make the trek along the trail and into the wilderness and the ascent to the summit of White Flag; which is also known locally as Railway Crag or Rowling Stone.

When they reached the summit, wet weary and cold, they were greeted by the trail crew who had prepared hot food and refreshments for all.

The purpose of this exercise was to allow members of the association and the general public to get a feel for the development of future phases of the trail, including wilderness loops over several similar granite ridges and also a view of the White Lake Wilderness protected area.

The Vision of the association includes future development of canoe routes and portages through this vast wilderness area. The White Lake Wilderness area is one of 31 areas throughout Nova Scotia which have been declared recently to be preserved in their natural state for the enjoyment of Nova Scotians and their children for all time.

If you wish to be a part of this exciting development or wish to contribute to help in funding future phases please contact the Trail Association, Jessie DeBaie
