This 10 km trail runs between the Chester Connection Trail to the East and the Bay to Bay and Adventure Trail in the Town of Mahone Bay.
Since the main commercial function of this part of the rail line was to transport dynamite from the CIL plant in Montreal and offload to the Dynamite Wharf in Mahone Bay, the Dynamite Trail seemed a good fit.
Access includes hikers, bicycles, ATV’s, snowmobiles, skies, and horses.
