Malady Head Trail

Begin hiking in a mature black spruce forest carpeted by a vibrant green moss rolling over the bumpy forest floor. The first steep climb reveals sections of forest badly damaged by past hurricanes and the island’s relentless wind. Keep climbing to reach the top of Malady Head. Watch your footing as you emerge from the forest but take the time to look up as the magnificent cliff-side view reveals itself. Catch a bird-eye view of Southwest Arm, the Eastport Causeway and Alexander Bay.
