East Coast Trail Map Set
Updated for 2026, the East Coast Trail Complete Map Set covering 336kms with 34 maps of the 25 East Coast Trail Paths from Topsail Beach (which is the start of Long Shore Path) to Cappahayden (which is the end of Island Meadow path).
Maps are printed on waterproof, tear-resistant paper and although they come as a set they are not fixed to each other so if you want to only carry the map for a path you're doing a particular day you can.
The 2026 edition has updates for a number of parking areas, as well as the town of Bauline East formally changing their name to Bauline South.
What do the maps include?
This Full Map Set includes:
- 34 maps for all 25 East Coast Trail paths from Topsail Beach to Cappahayden.
- Nine of the longer paths have 2 maps, and the remaining 14 have 1 map.
- Plus, each set contains an overview map that highlights the ECT at a glance (Great for trip planning!)
For the information of ultra-light thru hikers, the Full Map Set weighs about 450 grams.
Navigational maps are printed on 8.5" x 11" waterproof, tear-resistant paper, and are unbound, allowing you to carry whichever individual map(s) you need for the day. Navigational maps include:
- Front side: Detailed map of main path, any relevant side trails, elevation contours, kilometer markers, water sources, and more.
- Back side: Trip planning advice, path access points, elevation loss/gain by meter, trailhead latitude and longitudes, route descriptions detailed by kilometer, and community walk details.
The overview map is printed on 17" x 22" paper, and gives a full view of the ECT, including path names, lengths (in time and kilometers), difficulty ratings, start/end points, corresponding map numbers, and more. It also provides you with the distances from St. John's by Trail and by road.
