This nature trail takes the seldom used South Plateau trail. Taking that into account, the nature trail is often done in conjunction as part of a loop hike. Depending on your time and stamina, their are several options to make a loop hike, using the South Plateau Trail as a starting point, which ranges from about 2.5 miles to nearly 7 miles. 

Unfortunately, I don't believe there is parking near the start of the Nature Trail, as such, most people park just outside the park on the shoulder of Hwy 1 and walk in. If you choose to drive onto the Reserve, there is a Park Entrance Fee, and the closest parking that I'm aware of is at Whalers Cove. 

Brochures are available at the beginning of the trail which is just beyond the entrance kiosk. Alternatively, you can also download the following Wherigo Cartridge to play on your Wherigo compatible device: South Plateau Trail Guide

Fee?: 10.00 (listed in local currency)

If there does not appear to be a defined beginning to the trail or walk, pick a logical place (e.g. close to parking) or where information about the walk or trail can be gathered.
