7. Cinnamon Bay Self-Guided Trail
Length:
0.5 miles. Time: 30-45 minutes. Difficulty:
1. Trailhead: The trail begins on the right, just a
few yards past the Cinnamon Bay campground and on the opposite side
of the road. The ruins are easily visible from North Shore Road (Rt.
20).
One of the park's most popular trails, this loop tours
the ruins of an old Cinnamon Bay sugar plantation.
Park in the campground parking lot.
The well-shaded walk has plenty of signs
explaining the parts of the old factory and identifying many of the
trees.
At the horse mill, horses once turned the rollers to
crush the cane. The huge copper pots held boiling cane
juice.
The trail also goes past a number of old Danish graves.
