While you are in Little Port there are trails that you can take that will give you a higher view of this pretty port. If you drive between the buildings on the other side of the road you will enter a large parking area, that serves 2 trail heads. It is easily located because of the set of stairs built to take you up to the first bluff.
The Cedar Cove Walking Trail itself is only about 2 km and takes you south through the forest to reach Cedar Cove. The second trail is the Little Port Head Lighthouse Trail. It takes you across the top of the bluff and over to the far side which drops into a meadow. One edge of the meadow is Little Port Beach. You can cross the meadow and continue on the trail, which will take you to the top of the mountain that overlooks Little Port.
Due to time constraints we were not able to take full advantage of these trails. Still we were happy with the views we had of Little Port and out towards Lark Harbour from the bluff.
This small area around Lark Harbour is full of trails literally within minutes of each other. Visit yorkharbourlarkharbour.com to get a good handle on your options.
Hiking trails of all kinds abound in Newfoundland. Some are long or hard enough to show up on websites. Amazingly there are many more local trails that you will find out about accidentally or if you stay in a community for a few days. Many of these trails are very well maintained and provide ample exercise, and scenery.
