Island Walkers Starting in May
While Islanders will be watching fishermen set their lobster traps this May, there will be new activity to see along PEI's coastline. From Charlottetown to Miminegash, Seacow Pond to Gaspereaux, Islanders will be encountering hikers (and cyclists) on red dirt roads, secondary roads and the Confederation Trail. These long-distance trail enthusiasts will be completing some, or perhaps all of the 700 km Island Walk. This will be the first full year for the Island Walk which was created in 2019 and is now open to people who do not live on PEI. Only 25 people have completed the whole trail to date, but thanks to a flurry of articles in the Globe and Mail, National Geographic, Travel + Leisure magazine and others, many more are planning to visit the Island starting in May, 2022. v North Lake, PE.
