Moosehorn/Laverty Kelly
2025-10-25 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Moncton)
Lavery/Moosehorn Loop – Approx 7.3 km – Moderate/Strenuous.
Expect wet spots, some stream crossings, and rooty and rocky terrain as well as the need to navigate a large eroded boulder area along the trail.
Depart from Fox Field at 9am or meet at Fundy National Park Headquarters at 10:15. We will then drive to the trailhead located at the parking area at the end of Laverty Road.
The hike will begin at the Laverty Falls trailhead, and will descend gradually but steadily for 2.5 km until we reach the falls. We will then continue along the path until it meets the Moosehorn trail. The trail alternates between stretches of grassy areas, alder lined riverbanks and gravely stream sides. We will eventually pass cold water pools and swimming holes along the way until we reach a scenic and eroded boulder area where we will stop for lunch before we resume our hike.

After our lunch break, initially there is a very steep climb up the Moosehorn trail, which becomes more of a gradual upward grade for the final 2 km back to the parking area.

For questions, please reach out to Kelly at kellychase8931@gmail.com
