McAndrews Road – North Shore Road
A longish section of flattish road and trail leads to the west end of Westport Sand Lake. A steep ascent up leads to a ridge walk with impressive views of the lake, especially from Bob’s Lookout.

Continue on undulating trail before exiting on to the North Shore Road.
