Yarmouth has many parks, open spaces and trails where you can enjoy sea breezes, sunsets and cool evening fog. See the full list of trails and landmarks.
Hartlin Trail The Hartlin Trail follows the historic train route from Bunker's Island to Lake Milo and beyond. The trail runs along the edge of Yarmouth Harbour and is ideal for walks, jogs and strolls. You’ll find interpretive signs, wharves, parks, museums, shops and restaurants along the way. Check tide times before you go — Yarmouth Harbour has tides of about 4–5 metres.
