Microwave Tower Trail

Route Description for Microwave Tower Trail

Although there are only partial views available from the summit of the hill, the Microwave Tower Trail is still a fantastic hiking route that will allow you to relax as you climb gently uphill in the midst of a scenic forest setting. From the trailhead, follow the path to the west as it enters into the forest cover and works between a few residential buildings. From here, the road will cross over a small creek and follow closely alongside it until you branch off to the north and climb up the hillside. The road will follow a series of wide switchbacks that lead you up to the radio tower on top of the hill. Once there, you will be able to explore the area and take in some partial views through the tree cover of Beaver Harbour to the east and the island’s interior mountains to the south. After you have taken in the views, head back down the same trail to return to your vehicle.
