Great for short trail runs. The main loop is 3.6 miles, and the larger loop including the Mumford Cove Trail is 4.2 miles. Sections of the Mumford Cove route are quite rocky, so watch your footing.

I went for a hike and was amazed by the diverse wildlife , the vibrant foliage, and the serene atmosphere of Bluff Point State Park. It was a perfect escape from the city .

If you happen to catch Warden Mel who is shell fishery's officer out and about get to know him! He is a terrific guy. Extremely knowledgable , friendly and just great!!!

This peninsula is accessible only by foot, as its reserve status doesn't allow for motorized vehicles on land. Not to worry: it's only four miles, round trip, and suitable for novice hikers. Read more

Nice small park . Bring a bike and ride around or a picnic . No kites allowed.

The bluffs are gorgeous :) Clamming here is pretty fun but make sure you get your shellfishing license.

The grounds-keepers are grouchy if they catch you with your dog off the leash...look out!!

Go for a trail run. Don't be wimpy and take the Mumford Cove trail & less well-used trails . :-)
