Episode 1: Peter Point
Peter Point is an approximately 3km out and back trail located in Kejimkujik National Park. The trail shares a parking lot and trailhead with the Snake Lake trail. The trail is considered easy and is a walk through beautiful forest and out to a point on the lake. Once you get to the Peter Point you will find a set of Parks Canada's iconic red chairs to enjoy the view. There is a picnic table and pit toilet located at the end of the trail as well.
