Pictou Wharf and Trans Canada Trail

A really cool little town to wander: the Hector Heritage Quay wharf, colourful waterfront buildings, and the Trans Canada Trail leading out towards Browns Point.

Pictou Wharf and Trans Canada Trail

The short version

Pictou's wharf and the Hector Heritage Quay made a really cool little town to wander around, with colourful waterfront buildings and the Trans Canada Trail leading out from downtown towards Browns Point.

There were a couple of patios where dogs were sitting: Harbour House Ales & Spirits (41 Coleraine St) and the Nook and Cranny Pictou (50 Caladh Ave). We did not eat at either, but they are worth noting for a return visit.
