Roosevelt Campobello International Park has two new foot trails for outdoor recreation and exploration. The park designed and constructed the trails with the Park Stewardship Team to help mitigate the adverse effects of climate change, enhance habitat protection, and provide greater access to the park’ s natural area for discovery.
The first new alignment departs from the Raccoon Beach Trail and ends on Liberty Point Drive. The other new path is the Upper Duck Pond Trail, which connects Cranberry Point Drive to the Fox Farm bicycle path. These two projects have added 1.25 miles of new trails to the park!
At the famous twice-daily experience,“ Eleanor’ s Tea,” held in the historic Wells-Shober cottage, visitors learn of Eleanor’ s life of activism over tea and homemade cookies. Enjoy the meticulously maintained grounds with a picnic at one of eleven sites with a takeaway meal from the Prince Cafe or bring along your own. Camp by the sea at nearby Herring Cove Provincial Park or visit the charming fishing villages of Wilson’ s Beach and Welshpool.
