North Coast Trail 是一条位于 Cape Scott 省立公园的步行路径,在2008 开通,是 Cape Scott trail 向东面的扩展,以原始偏远以及拥有众多野生动物,无尽海岸线和人迹稀少的沙滩而著称。它单程约59.5km,通常用4到6天完成。此路线可以 Shushartie Bay 为起点从东往西走到 Nissen Bight trailhead 再往南走到Cape Scott Trail 的起点/停车场,也可以反过来走。这两种走法都必须预订 Port Hardy 与Shushartie Bay 之间的 water taxi (http://northcoasttrailshuttle.com) 以及 Port Hardy 与 Cape Scott Trailhead 之间的 shuttle。
