Description: Whether you are looking for a romantic retreat or an outdoor adventure on Nova Scotia trails, Liscombe Lodge Resort is the perfect location for you. Their hiking trails are designed to accommodate hikers of all experience levels. Guests can choose from guided nature hikes for the nature enthusiasts or an early morning power walk! You can discover the beauty of Eastern Shore in a variety of different ways. If you’re looking for more of a challenge, try the more difficult trails like the Liscomb River Trail or the Mayflower Trail. The most popular trails are: Liscomb River Trail (9.6 km) The sound of water rushing over rocks and the warmth of the sun radiating off massive boulders left by the ancient glaciers will put you in touch with nature. The trail includes a suspension bridge that overlooks a waterfall and the nearby fish ladder, which was constructed to help restock Atlantic salmon. The ladder is formed by 15 pools separated by concrete weirs. The Liscomb River salmon-run begins the first two weeks in June and ends in late October, and peaks in July before the water warms. Mayflower Trail (2.9 km) The Mayflower Trail is a rugged coastal hiking trail that winds along the mouth of the Liscomb River. Scenic lookouts exist on the trail and there are many opportunities to view local flora and fauna. Woodpecker and Prospector Trails (400 m) Interpretive signage is positioned at the start of the walking trail to highlight natural points of interest and cultural history of the region.

Description: Thomas’ Cove Coastal Reserve is located on Economy Point, a large spit of coastal land jutting out into the waters from which the Mi’kmaq word Kenomee (now Economy), is derived. An excellent vantage point for experiencing the ebb and flow of the mighty Fundy Tides. Thomas Cove is part of the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark. Trail Head: A 3.2km drive from Hwy 2 to the parking lot in the middle of the Reserve. Significant Features: Panoramic views of the Minas Basin; beach access; wildlife; wooded trails overlooking the bay; sandy beach; sandstone ledges; excellent place to experience how quickly the tide fills up the creek and cove. Trail Length: 8km (2 loop trails) Hiking Time: 1.5 hours each The Reserve consists of 2 trails, Headlands Trail (4km) providing expansive views of the Minas Basin from Burntcoat Head to Walton and on to the cliffs of Cape Blomidon to Five Islands and Economy Mountain. The Economy Trail looking out onto sandstone ledges in the bay, Blomidon, Five Islands and the Economy coastline and Cobequid Hills as well as the Economy Riverbed. Both trails lead you along sandstone cliffs to great lookoffs and beach access where sea caves and stacks have been formed by the Fundy Tides. Shorebirds, bald eagles, screech owls, deer, foxes and occasionally a moose or bear can be seen. Many varieties of mushrooms and other fungi abound. Beach plants and woodland plants are also in abundance. Beautiful sunsets. Recommended season is from June 1 to October (Thanksgiving weekend). Please be aware that caution is required when hiking during hunting season. Remember to wear clothing in appropriate colours (hunter orange). The incoming tide can be treacherous, sweeping across the inter-tidal area very quickly in many places with tidal currents over 15km per hour, making the incoming and outgoing tides very dangerous. For maps and more information visit Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Welcome Centre and WWII Tower, 3246 Hwy. 2, Central Economy. Use trails at own risk.

Description: Economy Falls trail is a favourite of locals and visitors alike. Economy Falls was renowned for its beauty and geology since the days of Darwin. Some of the oldest rocks in Nova Scotia can be found here. In the early 1900’s an apron was built to allow logs to cross the falls on their way down the river to a waiting scow at the mouth of the Economy River. In 1997 an historic phenomenon occurred when one side of the rock face collapsed… practically unheard of in lowlands such as this. 2,000 tonnes of rock fell into the huge pool in front of the falls and piled up. Since that date, floods, yearly spring freshets and rise in the river’s water level due to long rainy periods, have rearranged and continue to sculpt a new course for the waterfall and it’s gathering pond below. Directions To access the trail, follow Route 2 to Economy. Turn North onto River Phillip Road. This road is not paved or managed. It is very rough and not suitable for vehicles with a low carriage. Exercise extreme caution and use at own risk. Continue following main road and signs for 7 km to upper parking area near Economy Falls. Take a right to head to the parking lot. Trailhead 7 km in on the River Philip Road, take a left turn and travel .5 km to parking lot. Follow the signs along a woods road until you reach the stairs (0.75 km) and descent into the gorge on 186 steps to the bottom. A challenging return. Significant Features Spring and rare plants consist of red, painted and nodding trilliums; trout lilies; Clintonia; Avens; lady’s slippers and grape fern, to name a few. Other features are interesting geology; fishing; swimming; beach, maple, ash, birch, spruce, fir, hemlock, and larch trees. White tailed deer, bald eagles, hawks, owls, black bears, coyotes and rarely moose. Visitors climb (at their own risk) the huge boulders scattered by the collapse and heavy waterflow. Length: 2 km return Hiking Time: 2 hours The Economy River drains a significant area of the Cobequid Hills, leaving the mountain in a steep-walled gorge and cascading down the cobequid escarpment at Economy Falls. The falls are found on the southern edge of the Cobequid Hills, a plateau containing some of the most ancient rocks in Nova Scotia. Recommended season from June 1st to October (Thanksgiving weekend) For maps and more information, visit Cobequid Interpretive Centre and WWII Tower, 3246 Hwy. 2, Central Economy… just beyond the point where River Philip Road leaves Highway 2.

Description: Enjoy an iconic coastal hiking experience at the Lighthouse Trail, located across the harbour from the Fortress of Louisbourg. Known for its spectacular crashing waves and unsurpassed ocean vistas, this trail is not to be missed. Capture an authentic East Coast moment in front of the Louisbourg Lighthouse, located at the trailhead. Families can explore the gentle, 2-kilometre (1.3-mile) looped trail, watching for shorebirds and fishing boats sailing into the harbour. Experienced hikers can follow the rugged shoreline beyond, where the Coastal Connections Trail Association continues to develop the trail. Contributions made in the donation box at the trailhead directly support the Coastal Connections Trail Association in their efforts to continue the development of the trail. Donation boxes are also located throughout the community of Louisbourg. To access the trail year-round, follow the “Lighthouse” signs along Havenside Road. The iconic lighthouse is on the site of the first lighthouse in Canada (1734). Interpretive panels share the history of this pivotal spot and highlight the rare plant life and coastal ecology of the area. Travelling with a beloved pet? Dogs on leash are permitted on the Royal Battery Trail, Old Town Trail, the Lighthouse Trail, and at Kennington Cove Beach. Thank you for cleaning up after your pet. Pick up droppings and place them in appropriate refuse containers. For your comfort and safety: Do not approach, disturb or feed wild animals. Take along appropriate clothing – rapid weather changes often occur along the coast. Carry water with you. Bring insect repellent as black flies and mosquitoes are common all summer. Stay on designated trails and boardwalks for your safety and to protect fragile vegetation. Do not throw food or scraps along the trails or roads. Read “Keep it Wild, Keep it Safe” brochure, available on the Parks Canada website.

The 1-km wooded loop into the Mainland Common near Westridge Drive adds a quiet walk through natural landscapes, including overlooking a bog. The trail is maintained in the winter, so is no longer suitable for cross-country skiing. Dog walking on leash is permitted. The trail links several community assets, including schools, the library and the Canada Games Centre, to home and work along the route. Be cautious as the trail crosses several main roads.

Description: Length: 22 km (13.75 mi) – Canso Canal to Chisholm’s Brook, Long Point (linear) Cell Service: Yes Dogs Permitted: On Leash Trail Surface: natural, beach cobble, hard surface, gravel The Ceilidh Coastal Trail section of the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail begins at the entrance to Cape Breton Island, at the Trans Canada Trail Pavilion and Trailhead Kiosk beside the Canso Canal. The first kilometre of this 22-km (13.75-mi) multi-use trail is gravel-surfaced and single track, before entering a 2-km, hikeable tide-washed section. This section is “hike a bike”, but the scenery is amazing with the Strait of Canso on one side and beautiful Long Pond on the inland side. Cyclists are recommended to access the trail in Troy along Route 19. The next 4.5 km (3 mi) of the trail is undeveloped rail bed. Though the surface is a bit too rough for cyclists, its worth the walk, as you will often have a front row view of ocean-going tankers, tugs, sailboats, yachts and barges approaching the Canso Canal locks. Depending on the season, you may see people or the occasional eagle fishing along the shoreline. The next 1.5 km (1 mi) of trail is a gravel-surfaced double track, followed by 2.5 km (1.5 mi) of paved trail (recycled asphalt). The final 11 km (7 mi) is gravel trail, double track. In addition to the stunning coastal views, the trail features wayfinding signage and interpretive panels, which outline the history and culture of the surrounding communities. Trailhead: After crossing the Canso Causeway at the entrance to Cape Breton, you’ll see a parking area and the Trans Canada Trail Pavilion and Trailhead Kiosk on your left. Walk the length of the parking lot and continue along the right side of the chain link fence surrounding the Canso Canal property. The trail continues along what is known as a ‘parallel bar,’ which is a long, thin ribbon of sand, gravel and rocks. Cyclists are recommended to access the trail from the Troy Station Trailhead Kiosk along Route 19. 71 Hwy 104, Port Hastings. Troy Station Trailhead: 45.691553, -61.439462 (civic: 1020 Route 19)

Description: Crowbar Lake Hiking Trails are 16.5km of wilderness hiking trails arranged in a number of loops. The trails access the Waverley Salmon River Long Lake Wilderness Area east of metropolitan Halifax. Being situated within a wilderness area, the Crowbar Lake Hiking Trails allow users to enjoy scenic vistas and unspoiled lakes and waterways. The trail is constructed across a rugged granite ridge landscape and, as such, offers a demanding challenge. The multiple loops of the trail allow for various routes of increasing challenge and can range from 1 hour to a full day to navigate. Crowbar Lake Hiking Trails is accessed from a sole trailhead; the parking lot is located at 1800 Myra Road, Porter’s Lake. Porters Lake Loop: From the trail head at Myra Road, the trail climbs gradually through mixed forest and skirts a beautiful small lake, with boardwalk and a bench at about 400m. From here, hikers can complete the 1.6km Porters Lake Loop, which begins and ends at the lake. Views from the top of this loop reveal Porters Lake and its eastern slopes. Part of the forest here and elsewhere along the trial system bear dramatic evidence of Hurricane Juan. Spriggs Brook Trail: From the crest of Porters Lake Loop, hikers may continue west, 1.5km, to the bridge at Spriggs Brook, and another 1km to Granite Lake. The route offers views of distant Granite Lake and Stillwater sections of Spriggs Brook, and passes through older, mixed pine forest showing scars of long-ago forest fires. West Lake Loop: For the more adventurous, the trail continues past Granite Lake to the West Lake Loop. The fist view of West Lake is about 450m west of Granite Lake, from the top of a large, barren hill-top. From this hill, hikers can travel about 4km around the West Lake Loop, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. This loop offers intimate views of the lake and more expansive views from high granite exposures. Salmon River Loop: The most ambitious route extends West Lake Loop, westward, to Salmon River and Crowbar Lake. Watch for trail junctions at the northwest and southwest ends of West Lake Loop. Traveling counter-clockwise, hikers will climb a large hill northwest of West Lake, onto a jack pine barren. The barren reveals an expansive landscape of wilderness forest and lakes, looking northwest, towards crowbar and Salmon River Long Lakes. The trail then descends to Crowbar Lake through older spruce-hemlock forest. At Crowbar Lake, the trail follows the scenic salmon River, downstream, and then along Otter Lake. Once past Otter Lake, the trail swings back towards West Lake, with a choice of two routes. The longer route offers additional, high viewpoints. Once back at the junction with the West Lake Loop, don’t miss the exquisite “Crows Nest” viewpoint off a granite knob right above that junction. PLEASE NOTE: This is a wilderness trail and there are no amenities along the trail or at the trailhead. Cell phone coverage is spotty depending on the terrain and service provider. Leave only footprints, take only photos and memories. Crowbar Lake Hiking Trails is not maintained during the winter months; expect icy conditions. Some hikers may be familiar with the long-established trail along Salmon River, now part of the Crowbar Lake trail system. This route has long been a favourite with anglers and hikers, with access off River Road, Lake Echo. The upper part of River Road is, however, not maintained, and the former access trail crossed a property with a camp operated by the Nova Scotia Hospital Foundation. The Crowbar Lake trail system does not have a trail head here; please use the trail head at Myra Road.

Description: Cobequid Escarpment trail is located in the Cobequid Hills and steep linear escarpment that marks their southern edge. The geological characteristics of this region date back to the Devonian Period 400 million years ago when the continents (ancient North America and ancient Africa) collided to form the super-continent, Pangaea. The result was the creation of a range of jagged and irregular mountains where the Cobequid Hills are now. The escarpment marks one of a series of faults that run diagonally across the province. It is 200 m high and 125km long, extending from Cape Chignecto at Advocate to Truro. Directions To access the trail, follow Route 2 to Economy. Turn North onto River Phillip Road. This road is not paved or managed. It is very rough and not suitable for vehicles with a low carriage. Exercise extreme caution and use at own risk. Continue following main road and signs for 7 km to upper parking area near Economy Falls. (At about 1 km, at the top of the hill take time to enjoy a panoramic view of the Minas Basin and its tide.) At 7 km, turn right at the sign and continue a short distance to the parking lot. Trailhead At 7km on the River Philip Road in Central Economy, take a left turn traveling .5km to a parking lot. Follow signs along the woods road passing by the stairs leading down to Economy Falls. Continue on past the viewing point at top of the the falls and cross the bridge spanning the river experiencing a rapid ascent to the point where Kenomee Canyon splits off leading up into the hills and you begin your descent 1.5km downstream on the east side of the Falls to a second crossing the river on stepping stones and joining the Devil’s Bend Trail leading right back to steps on the Economy Falls Trail and returning to trailhead. Significant Features: Ancient rock formations; rare plants, wildlife, a walk back in history. Length: 2.5km loop Hiking Time: 2.5 hours The Escarpment Trail, Economy Falls Trail and Kenomee Canyon Trails are all in the provincially designated Economy River Wilderness Protected Area. Hiking down the Escarpment gives you a better feeling for the collision and formation of Pangaea. Please stay on the trail in order to protect rare plants indigenous to the area. Recommended season from June 1st to October (Thanksgiving weekend) For maps and more information, visit Cobequid Interpretive Centre and WWII Tower, 3246 Hwy. 2, Central Economy, just beyond the point where River Philip Road leaves Hwy. 2.

Description: This 150-year-old road was the first overland route constructed in the area, joining coastal communities at Chedabucto Bay and Tor Bay. Skirting the edge of the Bonnet Lake Barrens Wilderness Preserve, this area incorporates an ancient landscape created by bedrock faulting and glacial movement. Granite barrens expose themselves to foggy climates and wind-swept conditions, while creating a comfortable home to bogs, rare plants, lakes and streams. 9kms (one-way), gravel road, barrens, natural path. No facilities. From the village of Guysborough, travel east on Route 16 to the community of Queensport. Below the hill of St. Vincent DePaul’s Church on the right, you will find a small gravel clearing leading to the trail head. To access the Cole Harbour entrance, follow Route 16 east from Guysborough, turning right at the junction with Hwy 316 toward Larry’s River. Arriving at the intersection in Charlos Cove, turn left toward Cole Harbour. The backside of a stop sign facing into the trail distinguishes the trail head.

City: 416, Jordan Falls
General_area: 80, Shelburne/Lockeport Area
Latitude: 43.797796
Longitude: -65.234046
Description: The Jordan River Trail is located along the abandoned Halifax and Southwestern railway line. The railway carried passengers and freight between Halifax and Yarmouth from 1907-1969. The trail winds through a salt marsh, home to ducks, herons, and other birds. It crosses the Jordan River and ends at the Jordan Branch Road. On a clear day there is a fantastic view from the bridge looking both up the river and out to the ocean. Trees and other plants to look for along the way include speckled alder, wild rose, mountain ash, red maple, birch, tamarack, white pine, and the occasional locust. The trail head is located at 146 Hayden’s Road, a short dirt road loop off Hwy 3 heading towards Lockeport from exit 24 off Hwy 103 at Jordan Falls. A return trip on the trail is just over 5kms on a flat gravelled surface. A leisurely stroll stopping to enjoy the scenery may take about 1.5 hours. The Shelburne County Arts Council has installed a sturdy wind chime of scrap metal by local artist and former blacksmith, Hayward Meisner near the bridge. It has a lovely tone and stands on a tri-pod with a decorative treble cleft on the top. The trail head is also the location of the Tourism Interpretive Site for District 5, complete with a covered picnic table, interpretive panel, waste separation unit, and parking. The trail is not groomed but is open for year round use as snow cover in this area of Nova Scotia is minimal. Pets are welcome but must be on a leash. Please clean up after your pet.

Street_address: near East Sable Road
City: 743, Sable River
Latitude: 43.841184
Longitude: -65.052193
Description: These are two very distinct trails that are linked by Highway 103 and Highway 3. If you choose to travel the loop be careful of the highway road traffic. Local residents describe walking the Tom Tigney Trail and the Foot Bridge Trail as “going around the river.” The Sable River has great significance to the people who live on both the east and west sides of it. It physically divides them but in actual fact unites their sense of community and spirit. Tom Tigney Trail The Tom Tigney Trail is located along the abandoned Halifax and Southwestern railway line. The railway carried passengers and freight between Halifax and Yarmouth from 1907 to 1969. The trail winds through a quiet residential area beside the Tom Tigney River, across the highway several times, and then across the planked and railed former CN rail bridge, ending at Highway 3. From the bridge there is a wonderful view both up and down the Sable River. The trailhead is located just off Highway 103 beside the East Sable Road. Signage, a picnic table, and hand-painted mural invite the traveler to stop and rest. Other hand-painted murals by local artist and historian Bessie Robart can be viewed along the trail. Trail uses include walking, cycling and motorized ATV use, making it a shared-use trail. This trail links up on both ends with trails developed and maintained by the Woodland Multi-use Trail Association. At the Highway 103 end it links with 8.3 kilometres of trail going to Wilkins Lake and the Queens County line and then to the Broad River Bridge in Port Mouton. The other end of the Tom Tigney Trail at Highway 3 connects to 10 kilometres of trail through marsh and forested areas, and past a lake to Canada Hill Road. This trail is great for birdwatching and observing other wildlife. A return trip on the trail is about 2 kilometres on a flat graveled surface. A leisurely stroll stopping to enjoy the scenery may take about 40 minutes. The trail is open year-round but is only maintained seasonally. Respect private property and stay on the trails at all times. Beware of traffic where trails cross roads. Leave nothing behind except your footprints. Pets are welcome but must be on a leash. Please clean up after your pet. Footbridge Trail The Footbridge trailhead is located on property owned by the Sable River Volunteer Fire Department. The trail, which leads from the parking area to the century-old swinging bridge known as “The Footbridge”, is clearly marked and only accessed on foot. The bridge takes you across the Sable River. It is a strange sensation to feel the bridge moving up and down under your feet. Many photos have been snapped of this unique historic site. Local painter and historian Bessie Robart has painted a beautiful mural to recognize the role the railroad played in Sable River’s past. An interpretive panel at the bridge provides historical information regarding the Mi’kmaq people, who were early residents in Sable River. After leaving the bridge you have the option to follow the Freeman Mill Road to Highway 103, which will take you to the Tom Tigney Trail. A return trip on the trail is about 2 kilometres on a flat graveled surface and dirt road. A leisurely stroll stopping to enjoy the scenery may take about 40 minutes.

Description: The Short Line Trail is a 120 km multi-use trail stretching along the Northumberland Shore of Nova Scotia, spanning three counties and linking the communities of Pictou, Scotsburn, River John, Tatamagouche, Wallace, Pugwash and Oxford. The trail is built on the railbed of the former Intercolonial Railway. Part of the Trans Canada Trail, the Short Line Trail connects our communities today as the railway did for nearly a century. The Short Line Trail passes by Pictou Harbour and Tatamagouche Bay on the Northumberland Strait and through forests and farmland. It skirts many wetlands and crosses numerous streams, some with large sandstone culverts. Large bridges span the Wallace River, French River, Waugh River and River John. Near Oxford, scenic smaller bridges and a tunnel add interest to the trail. Great for off-road bicycling or long-distance adventure, most sections of this easy, flat trail have a compacted gravel surface. Hybrid or mountain bikes are best suited for the trail surface. Access the trail at multiple trailheads with parking and trail panels including maps and local historical and cultural information. Rest areas with benches and picnic tables are located along the route. Trail use: Walking, bicycling, equestrian, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobile, ATV, dogs on leash. Users are to obey posted signs. The 3-km section of the Jitney Trail in the Town of Pictou is walking and cycling only.

See where the Ship Hector made its historic landing in 1773. Park benches and picnic tables are available. The Butter Trail is the 5-km rail trail section in the busy village of Tatamagouche, named after the Tatamagouche Creamery where butter was made.

Explore the history of mining sandstone, enjoy the waterfront amenities, restaurants and shops. The Wallace Area Museum (on Route 6, 2 km west of Wallace) boasts a 3 km walking trail known as “The Loyalist Trail” that links to the Short Line Trail. The 6.4 km Pugwash Salt Express Trail links to the coastal village of Pugwash, home to Thinkers’ Lodge, a National Historic Site where you can learn more about how this village first gained international recognition for peace in 1957. Explore a variety of food choices, accommodations and a beautiful waterfront with shops. Oxford, known as Blueberry Capital of the World, is the western end of the Short Line Trail where you will find a 55 m walking bridge over the River Philip and the Bunny Trail (walking/biking). Accommodations and food choices are available and be sure to check out the unique Alphabet Store on Water Street, 300 m from the Oxford Station Trailhead.

Description: The Cobequid Trail is an 18-kilometre network of walking and cycling trails in central Colchester County, at the head of Cobequid Bay and the Bay of Fundy. Explore woodland paths and shaded brooks. Follow the rail trail through farmland and Acadian dikelands beside the tidal Salmon River and watch the tidal bore arrive twice daily. Discover We’kwampekitk, the Mi’kmaq name for the Truro area, which means “where the bay runs far up”. Great for bicycling, long distance running, leisurely walks and wildlife viewing, this trail has numerous trailheads, rest areas with benches and picnic tables, and scenic viewpoints. Trail use: Walking, cycling and snowshoeing are permitted. Dogs on leash are permitted; please clean up after your dog. Motorized vehicles are prohibited. Trail map: www.colchester.ca/cobequid-trail Trail surface: Most of the trail has hardpacked, crushed gravel. A few, short sections are paved. Trailheads: Multiple trailheads with parking and trail panels with maps and local history and cultural information: • Old Barns trailhead, 919 Shore Road, Old Barns • Cobequid Bay Lookoff trailhead, 3471 Highway 236, Lower Truro • Lower Truro trailhead, 4057 Highway 236, Lower Truro • Fundy Discovery Site trailhead, 103 Tidal Bore Road, Lower Truro • Will-Kare trailhead, 105 Lower Truro Road, Lower Truro • Truro trailhead, 202 Willow Street, Truro • Eagle Crest trailhead, 39 Warren Drive, Bible Hill • Farnham Brook trailhead, 36 Village Court, Bible Hill • Bible Hill Recreation Park trailhead, 38 Guest Drive, Bible Hill Bicycle repair station locations: • Old Barns trailhead, 919 Shore Road, Old Barns • Fundy Discovery Site, 103 Tidal Bore Road, Lower Truro Public washrooms: • Old Barns (600 m east of Old Barns trailhead) • Fundy Discovery Site • Bible Hill Recreation Park (May to October) Highlights of the Truro, Lower Truro and Old Barns sections 11-km of continuous rail trail between Truro and Old Barns is part of the Blue Route provincial cycling network and Trans Canada Trail. Travel along the former Dominion Atlantic Railway, built in 1898 and operated until 1982. The trail is mostly flat, with very few slight inclines. Enjoy views of the Salmon River, Cobequid Bay, marshlands, saltmarshes and dikes. Time your visit to see the tidal bore! (Tidal bore times are available at fundydiscovery.ca). At the east end, the trail begins at King Street in Truro, crosses McClure’s Brook, and passes by a golf course and an industrial area. Continuing west, the trail passes through marshlands, Acadian dikes and farmland in Lower Truro. From the Lower Truro Trailhead, a paved spur trail (parallel to Highway 236) heads east toward Fundy Discovery Site, part of the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark. From Lower Truro, the trail continues west to the Cobequid Bay Lookoff beside the tidal Salmon River as it flows into Cobequid Bay. Continue west to Old Barns along a very scenic part of the trail; enjoy beautiful views of this tidal landscape at several rest areas. Watch for bald eagles, osprey (our provincial bird), and migratory shorebirds in season. Highlights of the Bible Hill and Valley sections 7 km of the Cobequid Trail in Bible Hill and Valley pass through woodlands, farmland, and Dalhousie University Agricultural Campus. Enjoy mature forests, shaded brooks, and views from a ridge overlooking the Salmon River. The Dal AC trail section (about 2 km) meanders through the attractive Agricultural Campus and the university farm. From Bible Hill Recreation Park you can follow the trail west to Dal AC or east following the Recreation Park Connector Trail (about 1 km) through a forested ridge above the Salmon River to Osprey Ct. Follow Osprey Ct to the sidewalk on College Road to Maple Blvd and Scenic Avenue (total distance 1.6 km) to reach the Eagle Crest trail. The Eagle Crest trail (1 km) is a lovely walk through maple stands and hemlock ravines along the Salmon River. On the north side of Pictou Rd, the Farnham Brook trail (3 km) passes through meadows and mature forest and crosses the meandering brook several times; listen and watch for wildlife and songbirds as you stroll. Trail sections are connected by approximately 2.7 km of sidewalk/road for several route and length options. The trail grade varies; most of the trail has gentle slopes, but there are some steep inclines along Farnham Brook and Bible Hill Recreation Park connector trail.

Description: The Bluff Wilderness Hiking Trail is a rugged, challenging 4-loop wilderness trail over 30 kms, for experienced hikers only. Each loop will take approximately 3 to 4 hours to complete. The trail passes through several landscape types, including patches of hardwood and evergreen forests, fens and open granite barrens. The barrens feature glacial outcropping and granite deposits, as well as extensive populations of broom crowberry, a coastal plain species threatened elsewhere and the rare mountain sandwort. Over 100 species of lichens have been documented on the trail. The trail generally moves along high ground, affording frequent stunningly beautiful vistas of the surrounding wilderness and lakes. At one point, it runs through a stand of large old growth red spruce between Pot and Cranberry Lakes. The third loop takes hikers over the Bluff plateau, which is one of the highest points near Halifax. There are also canoe and portage routes, which allow paddlers to access the wilderness lakes. A map of the trail and directions can be found on our website. There are also map panels on the trail where the loops intersect. As this is wilderness trail, hikers are advised to bring adequate water and food supply, as well as a map and compass (additional required safety items are listed on our web site). No facilities are available on the trail and hikers are expected to pack out what they carry in and practice leave-no-trace techniques. Dogs are permitted on leash. Trailhead Access Parking lot for the trail is located at 2890 St. Margaret’s Bay Road, Timberlea. The trailhead is located on the Beechville-Lakeside-Timberlea (BLT) trail.

Description: Kenomee Canyon Trail is a spectacular 18-km wilderness hike into the Economy River Wilderness Area along the edge of the Economy River gorge. It is a challenging, overnight hiking experience. There are three designated wilderness campgrounds: Chain Lake Falls, Murphy Brook and Newton Lake. Register at Cobequid Interpretation Centre, Economy. Trailhead: Economy Falls Parking area, approximately 7km from Rte 2 on River Philip Road at Central Economy. Directions: To access the trail, follow Route 2 to Economy. Turn North onto River Phillip Road. This road is not paved or managed. It is very rough and not suitable for vehicles with a low carriage. Exercise extreme caution and use at own risk. Continue following main road and signs for 7 km to upper parking area near Economy Falls. (At about 1 km, at the top of the hill take time to enjoy a panoramic view of the Minas Basin and its tide.) At 7 km, turn right at the sign and continue a short distance to the parking lot. Significant Features: A continuous climb into the Cobequid Mountain range, weaving in and out through old growth trees and those deformed (possibly by lightening strikes, wind or fires); babbling brooks, high cliffs in the area known as “the gorge”, where the locals like a challenging fishing experience, or a quiet lake where a loon will sing to you. Length: 18km Hiking Time: The trail can be hiked in 8-9 hours. This is a special ecological area where development and resource extraction are not permitted and a mosaic of hardwood stands on the hilltops and spruce in the ravines. The forests in this region will be allowed to mature and undergo natural forest processes. Visitors are asked to be vigilant in their care for the plants and animals within this area. You will experience great fishing holes along the river and in the lake: 2 small waterfalls at camping spots; rock formations, fossils in 450 million year old rocks; numerous lichens; wildflowers; wildlife; challenging rock climbs; fording small brooks after heavy rains and the peace and quiet of nature at her best. You may be fortunate enough to spot a mainland moose. Always give wild animals lots of space. Campfires are not permitted in the protected area.

Description: The Black Loyalist Heritage Site, located in Birchtown in the South Shore region (approximately 7 km northwest of Shelburne) commemorates the history and contributions of the Black Loyalists who were some of Canada’s first settlers. Birchtown had the distinction of being the largest free Black community in British North America in the late 18th century. It was the centre of the Black Loyalist experience and its founding represented a turning point in the history of persons of African descent in Canada. There is much to explore on this heritage site including the National Historic Monument of Canada honouring the landing of the Black Loyalists in Canada; St. Paul’s Church (circa 1888); and the Old School House Museum, a one-room school house built in the 1830s which exhibits various artifacts from the archaeological digs and other items which have been donated and loaned to the museum. Stroll or hike along the Black Loyalist Heritage Trail, a 1.5-km heritage trail around the Black Burial Ground National Historic Monument of Canada. Site amenities include interpretive panels, a gift shop, public washrooms, parking and picnic area. Bus tours are welcome.

Description: Shubie Park, a beautiful 16-hectare urban park in Dartmouth, contains over 9 km (5.5 miles) of wooded walking trails, including part of the Trans Canada Trail. Some of the trails of the park follow a portion of the abandoned Shubenacadie Canal, which passes through the park (see listing for Shubenacadie Canal Waterway). The park includes designated areas for dogs to be off-leash, as well as an interpretive area called the Fairbanks Centre next to the canal at the location of a series of locks between Lake Micmac and Lake Charles. The Fairbanks Centre features a scale model of canal lock mechanisms and various displays. Heavily forested, Shubie Park is roughly linear in shape, bounded on the north and west by Highway 118 and on the south and east by Lake Micmac and the southern edge of Lake Charles. The main soil is a well to excessively drained stony sandy loam podzol of the Halifax Series. The land comprising Shubie Park was part of a larger estate called “Countryview” that had been established in 1722 as the King’s wood lot, providing masts for the Royal Navy. In 1783, the Countryview estate became the first royal land grant in Dartmouth, issued by King George III to naval mast maker Samuel Greenwood. Since then, the land has exchanged hands several times, and during the 1960s–1970s the remaining undeveloped land of the Countryview Estate bordering the greenbelt between the highway and lake was set aside as a municipal park for the City of Dartmouth (now part of Halifax Regional Municipality). The park was developed primarily as a green space, although an area bordering Lake Charles was established with a beach, day use picnic area, and the Shubie Park Campground.

Description: Chart your course for one of the world’s most spectacular coastlines and make us your next port of call. Nova Scotia’s magnificent coastline, dotted with endless inlets, coves, and harbours, stretches over 7,000 kilometres (more than 4,300 miles) – including the numerous islands, it’s over 13,300 kilometres (8,300 miles). Offering a collection of incredible boating opportunities and ports of call around the province, with rich cultural, adventure and culinary tourism experiences in both rural and urban settings, and marine-related supply and service businesses with proven expertise. Situated as a gateway to the pristine waters of Atlantic Canada, Nova Scotia is a strategic destination for expeditions exploring the North including Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Passage and Greenland. We are also a strategic location for passages to and from Europe and a natural extension of the Northeast Seaboard that has established yacht itineraries for cruising New England and Maine. Lunenburg Waterfront Marina In Lunenburg, 300ft of floating docks are available for vessels up to 150ft with fixed wharf space and a dinghy dock also available. While here, take in the numerous sights and sounds on this working waterfront, from wooden schooners in mid-build at the Dory Shop or vessels under repair to fresh seafood catches being unloaded at the wharves. Cycling, golfing, sightseeing, boating, festivals and entertainment are just some of Lunenburg’s attractions. The Lunenburg waterfront is a gateway to delicious food in award-winning restaurants, distilleries and breweries, galleries and shops featuring fine art and craftwork, and events celebrating local talent and traditions. Dine on a patio, uncover seaside treasures and watch local boat builders at work, all along the beautiful Lunenburg waterfront. Catch the sunset with the best view dockside. Stroll the streets lined with charming 18th and 19th century architecture and experience the authenticity of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the ships that call Lunenburg home: the three-masted barque Picton Castle and the iconic schooner Bluenose II, Nova Scotia’s sailing ambassador.

Description: First settled in the 1830s, Africville was a thriving African Nova Scotian community nestled on the edge of Halifax Harbour. In the 1960s, its buildings were destroyed and residents displaced to free up land for Halifax’s industrial expansion. Today, the Africville Museum stands in a replica of the Seaview United Baptist Church that was the emotional heart of Africville. Inside, audio-visual kiosks, pictures, descriptive panels, and artifacts tell the story of the Africville community by commemorating the injustice of this destruction and celebrating the strong community spirit that still endures to this day. The site was designated a Canadian National Historic Site in 1997 and in 2024, was recognized as Canada’s first Place of History and Memory under UNESCO’s designation for Enslavement and the Slave Trade. Africville Park, situated next to Africville Museum, offers scenic views of the Halifax Harbour and five informative panels along a 1 km trail, that tell stories of what life was like for residents of Africville. Panels were developed collaboratively between the Africville Genealogy Society, Africville Heritage Trust, and the city of Halifax. Proudly Rainbow Registered: Canada’s national accreditation for 2SLGBTQI+ inclusive, welcoming and safer spaces for all. Learn more about this program at rainbowregistered.ca
