According to a person on the hike, this was a fire mound (a fire was lit on top of the rocks). The rocks were more neatly arranged at one time. When a enemy was approaching various forts around the entrance of the harbour would light fires to signal the other forts.


Herring Cove Provincial Park reserve begins from a parking lot with a great coastal view. This area is actually a reserve and has a 1.5km (1 mi) stretch of coastline to hike on.

The views here are as good as anywhere in the province. It is a typical coastal landscape, similar to Peggy’s Cove or Duncan’s Cove, and similar to those areas, there are no maintained trails.

A great place to see ships of all types coming and going from Halifax Harbour.
