Inverness Shean Trail (part of Celtic Shores Coastal Trail)

This 16 km linear trail runs from Blackstone to Inverness along the former rail line, with natural and gravel surfaces and cell service throughout. Key features include a rest area at Lake Ainslie, the Deepdale Trestle (a 300-foot steel bridge nearly 100 feet high), and interpretive panels about the railway's history. The trail ends in Inverness village near the harbor, with access to a 2 km oceanside boardwalk leading to Inverness Beach, and nearby options for distillery tours, dining, and golf.
