Caneel Hill Trail

Virgin Islands National Park

Hiking trails in the park provide an excellent way to experience the beauty of the landscape and the rich natural and cultural history of the park/

Rise above it all on this uphill trail. This heart-pounding 1 mile hike up Caneel Hill leads to some heart-stopping views of the beautiful bays and water of the north shore of the island. Reward yourself with some quality time at the observation deck before making the decision about whether to continue on to Margret Hill or head back down to town. This steep trail can be slippery when it rains. We recommend shoes with good tread and keeping any eye on the weather. Take plenty of water as well. The trailhead is at the top of the hill just up from Cruz Bay. Parking is available. Hikers may also access the trail from the Upper Lind Point trail by using the Caneel Spur connector.
