DAY 12 - BATTERY PROVINCIAL PARK - ST. PETERS

Day 12 - Battery  Provincial Park is the goal:  Click Here

GPS says 43 miles for a car and 300 for a bicycle.  The Canso Causeway seems to be the stumbling block.  Well, we will see tomorrow.  I'll hitch across if I can't ride....the journey must go on!

Keith A. SpanglerTamora, it could be a dangerous thing, but I got lucky. The worse part is crossing that bridge, the should dropped to nothing then you have a hill.

Got over the Canso Causeway in good shape, lucky it was Sunday I think.  Visitor Ctr stop for map and info.  Recommendation take HWY 104 39 km  to Peters.  No services after leaving town - Port Hawkesbury - that's nothing new right.  Crap food at McDonalds and onward.  1 pm reached Louisdale.

104 was pretty nice scenic and shoulders. Light traffic too, surprise.

2:30 pm arrived in St. Peters village - 8 minutes from the Park.   It felt like a long way, but really wasn't bad.  HWY 104 kept a good shoulder until it ended outside St. Peters, then fend for yourself.   Motorist were nice.

A lot services here so....might come back out of park later.

It is cool, you can see Jerome Point Lighthouse at Battery Provincial Park as you enter town.  Click Link

Site #3 overlooks the St. Peters Bay; overcast today, but still wonderful.
