Lincoln

The Trail loops around the scenic Jordan Harbour, including the iconic wreckage of the two-masted 140-foot “La Grand Hermine” and passes through a number of small communities featuring unique shops, elegant restaurants, trendy cafes and wineries. Beautiful Balls Falls with its scenic hiking trails and historic village is one of the most scenic on the Waterfront Trail and is definitely worth a visit.
