The trail is accessed via Nicola Road in Cedar. The trail winds its way down to the oceanfront overlooking Gabriola Island through a coastal Douglas Fir forest. Following the Cable Bay Trail leads down Joan Point Park, a 23 acre waterfront park which provides a great vantage point overlooking Dodds Narrows. The trail also passes through Garry Oak ecosystem, and features in genetic studies of endangered Garry Oak populations.[1]
