Yesterday, my walk from Howe Bay ended at Cardigan, essentially at the Clam Digger Restaurant. Since I already had my cab coming from Montague, I had no chance to eat there. My fix was to reverse my walk today and go from Montague back to Cardigan and have the cab pick me up after lunch, rather than have it drive me out in the morning—brilliant—eh!
The entire, short 7.8 miles followed the Confederation Trail, at first along the Montague River Estuary and then going north to cross the Brudenell River and finally arriving at the Cardigan River Estuary. It was popular with joggers and walkers, particularly around Montague—then again, river walks always are!
These are some of the sights that drew me in:
1. Huge oyster shell
2. View of my lodging at Lane’s Riverhouse Inn and Cottages
3. Fall turning of the leaves
4. Damage from last year’s hurricane
5. Rail bridge on rail trail
6. Clam Digger in Cardigan
7. Lobster roll at Clam Digger
