MacKinnon’s Brook Enters the Gulf

Taken 2005 August 4.

Here is the stream bed carved by MacKinnon’s Brook on its way to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The trail to here is from the Meadows and you will see it veer to the left in the grass as you get fairly close to the coast; there is a sharp, but short, descent on a dirt and stone trail to get to this point. This is a popular picnic spot, as the brook sings beautifully as it tumbles over the rocks. It is also a dangerous spot, as one must be very careful of falling rocks if one goes closer to the shore. Indeed, I saw a lot of newly fallen rocks this year at the mouth on the left side, which looks particularly unstable. The Gulf can be a beautiful blue, as you’ve seen in other photos, but it can be grey when the sky is cloudy, as here.
