Overview

The Big Meadow Bog Trailhead is located at 197 Water Street, Westport, NS, and is the most accessible trail in Western Nova Scotia. Less than 1km in length (one-way), the trail is a free, wheelchair accessible boardwalk trail and is open year-round from dawn until dusk. There are no stairs, several benches to use and enjoy the view as well as a viewing platform. An accessible picnic table is located at the Trailhead.

English, First Nations, and French interpretive panels with QR codes provide for a self-guided tour about the Eastern Mountain Avens (a species-at-risk), the bog recovery process, and the flora and fauna found in the bog.

Brier Island is a recognized eco-tourism destination, with visitors arriving to observe whales, other marine life, migratory birds, and the columnar basalt cliffs.
