Welcome to a 5.4 kilometre (3.4 miles) walk through the natural coastal environment of Wedgeport Point. From this wedge-shaped peninsula, visitors can view a variety of areas that are significant for the survival and reproduction of wildlife. Habitats are areas where creatures find their survival requirements of food, water and shelter. This nature trail visits several wildlife habitats and presents a series of interpretive panels to explain how these natural systems function.

Areas of interest along the trail include a costal forest, tree harvest, Christmas tree cultivation, the Tusket River estuary, barrier-beach ponds, a mixed wood forest, eelgrass mud flats, coastal marshes, sandy and rocky shores, growth of sea plants, and the Tusket Islands. The nature trail begins at the Wedgeport Museum situated at the Historic Tuna Wharf.

The construction of the trail was made possible by the financial assistance of the Municipality of Argyle, Economic Renewal Agency (Nova Scotia), Human Resources Development Canada, Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and the Community of Wedgeport.
