Access to birdwatching sites

Hiking trails in Park Harold F. Baldwin lead to birdwatching spots on the summit of the Pinnacle.

The area

Park Harold F. Baldwin in Baldwin's Mills is a popular destination for hikers and rock climbers. In its forest of both deciduous and coniferous trees, you will discover all that is beautiful in the Coaticook region. As you hike the forested trails that lead to the summit of the Pinnacle—a 45 minutes climb— you will traverse a variety of bird habitats that change with the altitude and offer a diversity of wildlife. At the top, you will find a breathtaking view of the Eastern Townships and the Appalachian mountain chain and perhaps see (or hear) the Peregrine Falcons that nest on the rock face!
