Welcome to Trinity Bight
Trouty
Over rolling hills and nestled in a secluded valley divided by a licensed
Salmon River lies the community of Trouty. Trouty is unique in that boats must
travel up the fresh water river, as opposed to having use of a harbour to dock
their boats. In this same river, one can fish for sea trout or salmon.
St. Matthew's Anglican Church has served, for many years, as a landmark for
boats entering the narrow, rocky harbour. Consecrated in 1888, St. Matthew's was
the second church in Trouty. It houses a small stained glass window, [pewter
chalice and paten brought in the 1940's, from the school chapel of the Holy
Innocents (which had fallen into disuse because of a declining population) in
nearby Spaniard's Cove.
Trouty offers several scenic walking tours. Flagstaff Hill is located at the end
of Trouty and is accessible by both foot and vehicle. Surrounded by trees and
grassy fields, the view is breathtaking. Continue on to the beach and look out
over the salt water to watch fishing boats in all their splendor.
As well, try the 20 minute walk to New Castle Pond. Surrounded by an abundance of plant life,
the pond furnishes an excellent swimming hole. Take a picnic lunch and spend the afternoon.
To fully appreciate the community, take a short walk to the top of Look Out
Hill. Enjoy the unspoiled beauty of the sun setting over the sea.
