Take the Musquodoboit Trailway for 2.6 km from Park Road to the north end of the Admiral Lake Loop trail.  Follow the approach to the Admiral Lake Junction bearing left onto the wilderness trail.  The trail winds its way along slopes passing a spur trail leading to the Eunice Lake Lookoff and then onto an outcrop overlooking Admiral Lake.  Here the Trail leaves the Ship Harbour Long Lake Wilderness Area and enters the White Lake Wilderness Area. 

The trail then continues along the granite ridge lands connecting a number of lookoffs offering spectacular views of Granite Lake, Sparrow Lake, and the  Musquodoboit Trailway.  The trail continues for 8.5 km where it arrives at the Kelly Junction where one could continue on the North Granite Ridge Trail or return to the Trailway a couple of 100 metres below.  From here it is a 7.2 km return via the Trailway to the Park Road parking lot.
