Itinerary description
A visit to the Eye of the Needle is a hike I've been wanting to get in for a number of years, so when clear skies were forecast for the last day in September Milo and I headed off once again to the Fundy playground.

Incredible hike! Took us 7-8 hours but we took a lot of long breaks. I'm sure you could do it in 4-5 hours if you kept a good pace. Highly recommend this hike. Incredible views
Heck of a hike! We went in from the Falls end and came back up the McCumber Brook Rd. Next time I think we will come in the other way. One thing you definitely need is a good set of water sandals or hikers. I had a pair of beach surf shoes and they were utterly useless going up the Little salmon River and through the eye of the Needle. I was wishing for something with padding shortly into that stretch.
