Extensive trail network. The best I have ever experienced anywhere in the world. Buy the maps so you can plan ahead and benefit from the predetermined intensity.

The views are awesome. Some parts of the trail need maintenance but with care, a person can walk all trails. Watch out for pegs and streams as you can trip, if not watching, or fall on rocks. Don't go too close to the cliffs as the soil could give way. Just be cautious, as you would if you walked anywhere near cliffs and ocean. I would not recommend taking small children along, unless you hold their hands most of the time. Check out the website for maps and cautions. Often walks are arranged by experienced hikers and you can sign up. I've only done three short walks on the ECT so read up on the site and ask questions.

So many options for short hikes or day hikes and absolutely breathtaking views no matter where you go. Highly recommended for anyone, just do a bit of research before you set off to see how difficult that particular piece of the trail is and make sure you're properly prepared (water, snacks, cell phone, good shoes, jacket - it gets a bit windy near the water).

I loved the cardio and great exercise and the views were amazing that day! We stopped and had a picnic in one of the bays and enjoyed views of icebergs. The whole hike was amazing

Loved St.John's so much I bought a house right next to a trail, this is a must visit place for photographers. During the simmer you can take a picture with a whale, eagle and iceberg in the one shot. If you like getting out doors for some fresh air and exercise this is the place for you.

If you can grab the set of maps from a local store. If you can't get them, don't worry. While they aren't necessary, they are good to have because they have info specifically related to each trail. Amazing views, sometimes you can see some great sights, especially around ice berg and whale season. I have hiked and camped several of these trails and have found them all incredible. If you like hiking, no visit to NL should be complete without hiking a section of the trail.

October weather is generally quite good but there was some sort of tropical storm blow off so we I didn't get in as much hiking as we'd expected. What we did get? breathtaking.

a decent hike with some rocks to climb but worth the hike. I am not much of a hiker but found this ok. 2 small children under 5 did this hike with us.

I likes the well groomed trail and especially the view of Logy Bay, Outer Cove, Middle Cove and Torbay. No dislikes

We had so much fun hiking the East Coast Trail. Got to explore so many different parts of Newfoundland from beaches, to cliffs, to the unique towns. I would recommend a map because some of the trails can be hard to follow, but as long as you know where the coast is you won't have a hard time finding your way. If you like being outdoors and exploring, this is something you definitely want to do!
