Middle Head Trailhead — Attraction in Ingonish Beach

We could not complete the trip to the tip. However, the loop was an interesting one. It's worth the hike, the trip to the tip I mean.

Few things to note

As per the map there are lookouts on the semicircle part of the loop. However, there no lookouts on that part of the trail. Even then, the lookouts are not that great. There is no clear view. Some pruning needs to be done.

The suggested path would would the straight line to the tip and back. IMO the full loop at the lower end is not worth it.

There is tons of parking spots available right at the trail entrance.

One must drive past the Keltic Lodge and at the very end, there is the road to the parking which is hardly 50 metres. Keep driving straight past the Middle Head sign.

It was full when we arrived around 12:30 on a nice summer weekday, so we came back later in the evening and it had cleared out significantly. Highly recommend this hike if you’re...

There are some hills going back up and if you're not paying attention you can easily twist your ankle as its not too groomed in some places. If you are like me you love this as it feels like an...
