A small parking area with a network of beautiful woodland trails, with interpretive signs and trail markers. Part of the land is replanted farmland, part is maturing hardwood with a great mix of Acadian trees and shrubs. There is a native plant garden run by Trout River Environmental Committee. The trails have some steps, bridges, and steep slopes. The Devil’s Punchbowl itself is a unique steep gorge where illicit alcohol was stored during the years of prohibition, although the sign at the site tells a different story.
Trout River Park, located at 1895 Trout River Rd – Rte 239 Millvale is a quite park and trail, connecting to the popular fishing location, Gunns Bridge. The park is maintained by Trout River Environmental Committee and contains 2 small trails on either side of the parking lot, a grassed area perfect for picnicking with the family, equipped with picnic tables and a shelter. The park also has several educational features such as bird and bat boxes along with interpretive signage. You can visit the lookout over Trout River estuary and regularly spot eagles, heron, king fishers and other wildlife, as well as walk across a covered bridge over a small tributary.
If you notice anything amiss at the park please contact Trout River Environmental Committee, you can find out contact at troutriverec.ca and we will address the issue.
