Description & Services
Information  
 
The Aspotogan Trail runs between the Chester Connection Trail in East River and the St. Margeret's Bay Rails to Trails in Hubbards. 
 
It's also part of the Rum Runners Trail 
 
The trail follows the abandoned rail line between Hubbards and East River, cutting across the top of the Aspotogan Peninsula. Bicyclists will enjoy its gravel surface and families will find this an easy walk because it is nearly level throughout. Birders should also enjoy this walk. 
 
From the trail there are numerous locations to view scenery, wildlife, flora, fauna and geology.
