- Description: The Halifax Farmers’ Market was created by Royal Proclamation in June of 1750, a year after the founding of Halifax. The Governor and Council designated a site for the Market – the present day Bank of Montreal building. For 50 years this meat or cattle market, as it was known, sold produce as well as livestock delivered from Acadian farms in the Annapolis Valley and from local farm production.
In 1848 the City of Halifax was incorporated and the original City Charter conveyed the Country Market property to the city “for the public and common benefit and use of the City of Halifax according to the true interest and meaning of the original grant.”
The Market has operated in several locations across the city since its inception in 1750, but moved to the Halifax Seaport in 2010 where it is now known as the Halifax Seaport Farmers’ Market – the longest continuously running Market in North America and proudly hosts vendors on weekends, year round!

- Description: Keppoch Mountain is a former alpine ski hill that has been revamped as a four-season outdoor recreation facility run by a non-profit organization offering 40 kilometres of non-motorized, multi-use wilderness trails, with ample parking, a clubhouse, bathroom facilities (both indoors and outdoors), a large patio, fire pit, bike repair and wash station, and ample seating both at the clubhouse and on the trails.
Enjoy mountain biking, off-road cycling, bouldering, swimming, hiking and trail running all year long and then snowshoeing, fat-tire biking and Nordic skiing in the snowy winter months. One trail is fully wheelchair accessible with low grades and crusher dust to ensure “every body” can experience the Keppoch.
Hosting many events throughout the year, including two Family Fun Days during which our trail fees are waived, as well as several family-oriented activities that highlight the facility throughout the year, we also host multiple runs, races and hiking events, along with outdoor educational seminars and classes.
The gem of Keppoch Mountain is the almost 30 kilometres of purpose-built mountain bike trails. Ranging from 500 metres up to 5 kilometres, the trails are built to accommodate the first-time beginner or the experienced expert, with something for everyone in between. From late May to late October there is a shuttle service on weekends to transport riders and their bikes to the top of the hill. Bike-related activities are also supported by a newly refurbished pump track, a kids-specific learning trail and almost 10 kilometres of gravel trails for a more casual family-friendly wilderness cycling experience.
More than nine dedicated downhill mountain bike trails round out the offering for the more adrenaline-minded visitors. With lengths from 500 metres to almost 1500 metres, there is no lack of challenge here. One of the original trails – “Chicken Cougar” – is a fan favourite and suitable for riders of all levels. During the snowy months, these trails make for heart-pumping and challenging snowshoe experiences.
Our most popular trail is our 5 km Summit Loop. This multi-use trail ascends the 180-metre vertical elevation gain to the peak of Keppoch Mountain. Hikers and bikers are greeted by scenic vistas out to the Northumberland Strait and across the Keppoch-Beaver Mountain region.
On top of the trails, amenities at Keppoch Mountain include:
a dock at Camerons Lake for swimming
access to great sport fishing along the Beaver River
a boulder-climbing park
a forest classroom
an 18-hole disc golf course
As a non-profit, Keppoch Mountain relies on trail fees and donations to support the facility. Yearly memberships and day passes are available at the lodge or online.

Campground Activities
We have a beautiful lake here at the campground that can certainly be enjoyed whether you are a fishing enthusiast, or you just want to go for a dip. The lake itself is 4.4 kilometers, which gives a lot of room for a variety of activities.
If you enjoy stargazing, there is also a site setup near the lake on a hill where you can setup your own telescope (telescopes are not provided) and see all of the beauty the sky has to offer. Since the campground is in a remote location, the sky will always be illuminated and distant from any source of external light (such as cities or towns.)
Our Wilderness Island is a very special treat for those who want to really “rough it out” in the wilderness. A very small island located on the lake, Wilderness Island is where you actually do your own camping. After boating to the island, you setup your very own tent/campsite and survive in the true wilderness.

Cell Service: Yes
Dogs Permitted: On Leash
Trail Surface: natural and gravel
The Inverness Shean Trail section of the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail begins at Blackstone. About 4.5 km (3 mi) toward Kenloch you will experience unsurfaced, but easily rideable coal dust covered treadway. Shortly after crossing the Strathlorne Scotsville Road at Kenloch, you will find a rest area along the shores of Lake Ainslie.
Further along, after crossing the Deepdale Road, you will come to the Deepdale Trestle. This is the last of 26 bridges, but is definitely the “granddaddy” of them all, measuring over 300 feet long and almost 100 feet high. A local interpretive panel displays pictures of the former wooden and present steel structure which carried trains for almost a century.
Don’t miss a tour of Glenora Inn & Distillery. North America’s first distiller of single malt whisky, Glenora Distillery welcomes visitors for tours, tastings and a meal at their award-winning dining room and pub, which also features daily Ceilidhs.
The trail ends on Route 19 in the village of Inverness, where you’ll enjoy views of Inverness Harbour and St. Georges Bay. Interpretive signage, a picnic shelter and public parking are found at the trailhead near Beach Road #1.
Running parallel to Beach Road #1, a 2-km (1.25-mi) oceanside boardwalk will lead you to the beautiful Inverness Beach, with its soft sand and sweeping views of the surrounding cliffs. To the right of the boardwalk, you’ll notice rolling sand dunes which sculpt the greens at Cabot Links – Canada’s first authentic links golf course.

Cell Service: Yes
Dogs Permitted: On leash
Trail Surface: The first 4 km are unsurfaced; the tread becomes excellent for the next 13 km through the village of Mabou.
The Mabou Rivers Trail section of the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail can be accessed from Route 19 at four points. The first access point (Trail Marker 55) is on Route 19 about halfway between Port Hood and Mabou. Parking is available on the left side of the road at this junction. Entering here, you will travel several kilometers through a canopied section, but soon the trail opens up and meanders alongside the South West Mabou River. This section of the trail is very pretty in all seasons, offering the perfect mixture of meadows, woodlands, rolling hills and rivers. This landscape welcomes an abundance of wildlife and interesting vegetation. Keep an eye out for soaring bald eagles and Canada Geese, among others.
The next trail junction is off Route 19 at the West Mabou/Little Mabou/Colindale Road. There is a very scenic parking area where one can take in the sweeping views of the Mabou Harbour and mountains while resting at the picnic tables. The adjacent West Mabou Road takes you to West Mabou Beach Provincial Park. Set among rolling sand dunes, West Mabou Provincial Park offers several trails, a stocked fish pond and a picnic area.
After the trail leaves this beautiful roadside location, it runs parallel to Route 19 before reaching its third junction on Route 19, just outside the village of Mabou. The trail continues along the inner part of Mabou inlet and river before leading you through the settlement of Glendyer and to Blackstone.
The trail features wayfinding signage and interpretive panels, which outline the history and culture of the surrounding communities.
Don’t miss the Mabou Farmers Market, where over 40 vendors offer up delicious food, beautiful jewelry and art, and of course live music!

- Description: The Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs got their start in Pugwash, Nova Scotia, in 1957 when visionary industrialist Cyrus Eaton hosted 22 scientists from both sides of the Iron Curtain to discuss the threat of nuclear weapons. The conferences and their inspirational leader, Sir Dr. Joseph Rotblat, were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995 “for their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and, in the longer run, to eliminate such arms.”
Designated a National Historic Site by Parks Canada in 2008, the property’s international and local historical significance is richly interpreted throughout the Lodge displays, most notably Rotblat’s Nobel Peace Prize and Cyrus Eaton’s 1960 Lenin Peace Prize. International conferences, workshops, and educational events have been held here continuously since 1955.
The waterfront grounds, adjacent to the grounds of Eaton Park, provide panoramic views of Pugwash Harbour and include the only fully restored wooden lobster factory building in Nova Scotia. During the summer, food and music events occur regularly. Check website for further information.

- Description: Elizabeth LeFort learned rug hooking from her mother at a young age. She continued to develop her own skills, experimenting with composition and colour. LeFort’s process later included hand dyeing all her own colours for designs that she sketched. Initially she worked in landscapes, drawing from existing photographs and illustrations. Particularly skilled at replicating photographs, LeFort was the first to create highly detailed portraits with wool. Some of her most known works include portraits of Pope Pius XII, President Eisenhower, Queen Elizabeth, President John F. Kennedy, and Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau … LeFort’s work is held in the Vatican Fine Arts Gallery, the White House and Buckingham Palace.
Her work has been shown in Toronto, Montreal, St. John, Moncton, Sydney, San Diego, Phoenix, and other places. The Dr. Elizabeth Lefort Gallery, located in Chéticamp, Nova Scotia, holds the largest collection of her work, including “The Crucifixion” which spans 3m x 1.7m and required the dyeing of some 510 colours. She was appointed a member of the Order of Canada in 1987 and received an honorary doctorate from the Université de Moncton in 1975.
Elizabeth’s piece titled Canadian Centennial 1967 features 416 colors, was 8 months in the making, used 7 miles of yarn and has 1,750,000 stitches hooked. The tapestry measures 3.2m x 2.0m (68 sq. ft.).

- Description: The Tusket Islands lie south west of mainland Wedgeport, Nova Scotia. They are only accessible via boat (a causeway to Big Tusket Island was once proposed but never constructed). The Tusket Islands are full of history on subjects ranging from lobster and tuna fishing, World War II spies, shipwrecks, buried treasure, and much more.
We depart on the LeBlanc boys’ fishing boat where you will enter a historical adventure through the islands full of rich culture and history. You will learn how to haul a real lobster trap and see the process that an actual lobster fisherman would go through on a day to day basis. You will then stop on Big Tusket Island at the private floating dock of the LeBlanc brothers (All docks have ramps, there are no ladders involved). On Big Tusket Island you will visit the LeBlanc’s own private fishing shanty and workshops. You will be served fresh local seafood chowder, cooked that morning by the captain from a traditional recipe passed on to the boys through the generations. After being filled with delicious seafood you can enjoy live entertainment on the one hour sail back to the Wedgeport dock.

- Description: This trail branches from the Harbour Rocks Trail, and crosses an extensive bog to a viewing platform overlooking Boyds Cove. The trail skirts clumps of coastal forest, which provide shelter for white-tailed deer and forest birds, and then follows the coast to Port Joli Head. Here is the full force of the ocean. Crashing surf announces the energy of the waves, the wind whips salty spray into the air, cobbles clatter as the waves recede, cries of gulls and eiders drift ashore, and the smell of seaweed is heavy in the air. Large boulders left behind by the glaciers sit perched on the rocky headlands, now encrusted with orange coastal lichens. When you explore these headlands be careful to keep your distance from the water’s edge, since rogue waves can wash across them.
From Port Joli Head, the trail loops along the shoreline to Harbour Rocks Beach.
Trailhead: Departs from Kejimkujik Seaside parking lot
Significant Feature: Hike the headlands of Kejimkujik Seaside. Watch the swells roll in from the North Atlantic Ocean and waves crash against the cobble beach. Experience forests which are stunted by the rugged weather of the Atlantic seacoast.
Length: 8 kilometres (5 miles) return to the parking lot
Hiking Time: 2.5 hours
Trail surface: Gravel and unmaintained footpaths
Trail Rating: Moderate
The trails at Kejimkujik (Maitland Bridge, NS) and at Kejimkujik Seaside (Port Joli, NS) showcase an incredible variety of habitats, scenery and places of cultural and historical significance. Please visit our website for maps and information on visitor safety and visitor services.

Wear proper hiking footwear. Trail surface is variable and includes both graveled and natural surfaces, uneven terrain, loose beach cobble, and wet surfaces
Bring insect repellent as black flies and mosquitoes are common all summer
Stay on designated paths and boardwalks to protect fragile vegetation and to reduce your chances of encountering ticks
Mountain bikes are permitted only where indicated, for visitor safety and protection of the environment

- Description: The Harbour Rocks trail passes through dense coastal forest, beside bogs rich with orchids, over coastal barrens, and then to the sandy beach and rocky islands at Harbour Rocks. Along the trail, a viewing platform provides a spectacular view of St. Catherines River Beach. In the thick growth of shrubs at the trail’s edge you may see birds such as the common yellow throat, savannah sparrow, and palm warbler feeding on insects or berries. At the shore, a viewing scope provides a close-up look at offshore seals and seabirds such as gannets and eiders. This route then follows the headlands and small sheltered coves to St. Catherines River Beach. Park staff protect the piping plover by closing the beach to public access during the nesting season (April to August).

- Description: French follows below | Le français suit ci dessous
A dramatic headland cliff overlooks the rugged coast from the end of this level trail. You can enjoy an eagle’s view of the Cabot Trail as it winds its way down the mountain and vehicles look like toys. Watch for whales in the Gulf of St. Lawrence from the viewing decks. Moose, bald eagles, bears and numerous boreal birds live in this habitat. Give moose a wide berth. You are required to stay on the boardwalk. This protects the fragile headland plants that are easily damaged by trampling and you, the visitor, from the dangers of steep cliffs and high winds. Fines may be issued for entering restricted areas. For the safety of visitors and wildlife, dogs are not permitted here. Wildlife like moose and bear become particularly agitated in the presence of dogs.

Une falaise spectaculaire surplombe la côte accidentée depuis la fin de ce sentier plat. Vous pouvez profiter d’une vue d’aigle sur la Cabot Trail alors qu’elle descend la montagne et que les véhicules ressemblent à des jouets. Surveillez les baleines dans le golfe du Saint-Laurent depuis les ponts d’observation. Des orignaux, des pygargues à tête blanche, des ours et de nombreux oiseaux boréals vivent dans cet habitat. Donnez une large place à l’orignal. Vous devez rester sur la promenade. Cela protège les plantes fragiles des promontoires qui sont facilement endommagées par le piétinement et vous, le visiteur, des dangers des falaises abruptes et des vents violents. Des amendes peuvent être infligées pour l’entrée dans des zones réglementées. Pour la sécurité des visiteurs et de la faune, les chiens ne sont pas autorisés ici. Les animaux sauvages comme l’orignal et l’ours deviennent particulièrement agités en présence de chiens.

Le parc est ouvert toute l’année, mais les services aux visiteurs ne sont disponibles que de la mi-mai à la mi-octobre.
Un laissez-passer est nécessaire pour faire de la randonnée ou utiliser d’autres services dans le parc ; le droit d’entrée au parc s’applique. Rendez-vous aux centres d’accueil de Parcs Canada à Chéticamp (16 Visitor Centre Rd., situé du côté ouest du parc) ou à Ingonish (37637 Cabot Trail, du côté est du parc) pour obtenir des laissez-passer, des renseignements sur la sécurité des visiteurs et toute autre information dont vous pourriez avoir besoin, y compris une carte de localisation des sentiers.
Pour votre confort et votre sécurité :
Restez sur les trottoirs en bois pour protéger la végétation fragile.
Les chiens sont interdits sur le Skyline Trail car ils dérangent les animaux de la faune, en particulier les orignaux et les ours.
N’approchez pas, ne dérangez pas et ne nourrissez pas les animaux sauvages.
Emportez des vêtements appropriés – les changements de temps sont souvent rapides sur le plateau ou le long de la côte.
Emportez de l’eau avec vous, en particulier pour les sentiers plus longs, les ascensions ou les landes ouvertes.
Apportez un insectifuge, car les mouches noires et les moustiques sont fréquents tout au long de l’été.
Restez sur les sentiers et les trottoirs de bois désignés afin de protéger la végétation fragile.
Ne jetez pas de nourriture ou de déchets le long des sentiers ou des routes.
Lisez la brochure « En pleine nature, en toute sécurité », disponible dans les centres d’accueil du parc et sur le site Web de Parcs Canada.

- Highlights: Plan Ahead
Popular hiking trails, including Skyline and Franey, see many visitors during the summer and fall months and trail parking lots fill up fast. Be #ParkSmart and plan ahead!
Trails are busiest between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Have a back-up plan in case the parking lot is full.
Contact the Cheticamp or Ingonish Visitor Centres to check on parking lot closures.
Pedestrian use is prohibited on the Cabot Trail between 19713 Cabot Trail (French Lake Look-Off) and 18865 Cabot Trail (Veteran’s Monument Look-Off). This means that you are PROHIBITED to park your vehicle or be dropped off to then walk to the Skyline trailhead. This can result in a fine from $180 up to $25, 000.
Keep it wild, keep it safe
Do you know what to do if you encounter wildlife in the park? Before your next visit, familiarize yourself with moose, bear, and coyote safety. Be respectful and act responsibly.
Soyez prévoyant
Les sentiers de randonnée populaires, notamment les sentiers Skyline et Franey, sont fréquentés par de nombreux visiteurs au cours de l’été et de l’automne, et les aires de stationnement se remplissent rapidement. Soyez #ParcsFuté et planifiez votre visite!
Les sentiers sont particulièrement achalandés de 9 h 30 à 16 h.
Prévoyez un plan de rechange au cas où le stationnement serait plein.
L’usage piétonnier de la sentier Cabot est interdit entre le belvédère du lac French (19713 Cabot Trail) et le belvédère du Monument aux anciens combattants (18865 Cabot Trail). Il est donc INTERDIT de garer votre véhicule ou de vous faire déposer pour ensuite marcher jusqu’au point de départ du sentier Skyline. Cela peut entraîner une amende de 180 à 25 000 dollars.
En pleine nature, en toute sécurité!
Savez-vous quoi faire si vous rencontrez un animal sauvage dans le parc? Avant votre prochaine visite, prenez connaissance des mesures de sécurité en présence d’orignaux, d’ours et de coyotes. Soyez respectueux et responsable.
