Belugas are one of the smallest members of the whale family. The name is both a reference to the shortness of the trail and the exposed "whale back" rock barren found on the trail.
Beluga skeletons found in the Ottawa valley provided evidence of the vast inland Champlain Sea that existed at the end of the last glacial period. South March Highlands emerged as islands in that sea as the waters retreated.
