Baden Powell Trail, Deep Cove
More infoQuarry Rock is the gateway drug of North Shore hikes: a great outdoor date compressed into 3.8 km and under two hours, with a village full of doughnuts waiting as your reward. The trail leaves from Deep Cove, winds through fern-and-cedar rainforest over little wooden bridges, and pops you onto a bald granite outcrop above Indian Arm. Go earlyish on weekends, then split a doughnut on the way down.
This is the high-reward warm-up: a 3.8 km return through fern-and-cedar rainforest straight from Deep Cove village, popping you onto a granite knob over Indian Arm. It's roughly 1.5 to 2 hours and busy on weekends, so go earlyish. Best part, it ends back in the village, so you're perfectly placed to split a legendary Honey Doughnut and let the day roll on. Decent shoes are all you need; it's free and quick enough to pair with anything.
