MANUELS RIVER GEOLOGICAL TRAIL GUIDE
This is an outline of two geological trails leading from
the Chalet at the Manuels River highway intersection: one upstream from the road
bridge, and one downstream. Red numbers in the guide refer to geological
localities ('stops') described in the respective text panels. More
information on the geology exposed along the Manuels River is available in the
Chalet.

The Manuels River trail meanders for over 3km along one of
the oldest and picturesque river valleys in eastern Newfoundland. The Main
Entrance is located adjacent to the Chalet on Route 60, west of Manuels River
bridge. Regular footwear, a camera and binoculars will enable the trail user to
enjoy the environmental treasures of the Manuels River system. Allow about two
hours for each trail. Walking the trails involve some 'rock-hopping' across the
river, and this may not be advisable under certain weather or river condition.
Persons touring the Manuels River do so at their own risk. |

Please keep your trail clean. Don't litter!
