Trail History
The trail was developed in 1997 under the Rural Experience Program.  The Maliseet and Micmac Indians were among the first settlers to this area.   Indian lore suggests that the stream was named after a battle between the two tribes.  The chief of the Maliseet tribe, being the winner of the battle, called the stream “Shiktehawk”.  In native tongue this means “where he killed him.”
