Day 33 - Dildo Provincial Park to Otter Pond Trail Head, NL

Day 33/June 5, 2016  Dildo Provincial Park to Otter Pond Trail Head

There is a 2km hiking trail here so we did that walking from our campsite on the opposite side of park…maybe 3 miles total.  There were nesting Goshawks towards the end of the trail so they closed it off…aggressive Goshawks.  We went in armed with sticks only to find it closed at the end…lol!

I asked about the “boil water for 5 minutes” thing posted at Dildo Provincial Park and got an answer that basically said.  The park had only been open for a couple of days so the inspectors hadn’t yet inspected the system so they were required to put up the sign.  Usually though the water is good.


Today our rv took us up route 350 to Leading Tickles (yeah that is the name of the town).  A rather quiet very rural road with houses few and far between until we got to the harbor at the end where it fleshed out a bit. We spotted a grounded iceberg when we came into Leading Tickles…a nice sized one. There was a trail at the end of the road (Ocean View Trail, I believe) that we walked.  It took us to a beach and then to a picnic table with an awesome view of ocean, islands, headlands.  On the way to Leading Tickles we saw a sign for another trail and headed for that to make dinner and stay the night.  We will park overnight at the Otter Pond Trailhead in Port Leamington.  It is about ¼ mile off the road so it is perfect for this Sunday night.
