This is without a doubt my favorite overlook on the Cabot Trail. Lots of room for vehicles including RVs.
The overlook includes a memorial to soldiers who have died overseas. This plaque was placed here during the Parks Canada centennial year in 1985 by the Department of Veteran's Affairs to recognize the contribution of Canadians who died overseas during the World Wars. A similar plaque was unveiled in a national park in each province. The monument stands guard over a commanding view of the western coastline. The memorial reads THEY WILL NEVER KNOW THE BEAUTY OF THIS PLACE, SEE THE SEASONS CHANGE, ENJOY NATURES CHORUS, ALL WE ENJOY WE OWE TO THEM, MEN AND WOMEN WHO LIE BURIED IN THE EARTH OF FORBON LANDS AND IN THE SEVEN SEAS, DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF CANADIANS WHO DIED OVERSEAS IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY AND SO PRESERVED OUR HERITAGE.
