There’s something new to view for hikers on the Cinnamon Bay Trail.
Jeff Chabot group leader and volunteers working with the Appalachian Mountain Club in a cooperative venture with the Virgin Islands National Park and Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park have cleared an overlook along the trail, with views extending from Jost Van Dyke to St. Thomas and the northwestern cays.
Some years ago there was an overlook higher up on the trail near the top, which has long since overgrown.
The trail crew did an excellent job creating this new overlook. The view is spectacular!
Other overlooks that have now been cleared are the Lind Point Battery Overlook, at the bench almost to the top of Caneel Hill on the Caneel Hill Trail, one on the Bordeaux Mountain Trail and another on the Lameshur Bay Trail.
We’ll be posting photos of these overlooks shortly…
Soon come… one on the Reef Bay Trail, the Francis Bay Salt Pond and two on the Johnny Horn Trail….

Nice new trail work. Especially that overlook on the Cinnamon Bay Trail. I’d love to volunteer doing ANY trail on St. John. There is nothing I like more than hiking on St. John These are some great projects, hats off to Jeff Chabot group and the volunteers.
