A word of caution about being in the outdoors in Nova Scotia; hunting season runs from mid-September to mid-February and we highly
recommend wearing bright colours at these times. Many of our trails are multi-purpose so exercise caution and be courteous of others. When hiking in and around tidal zones, be sure to know when high and low tides are and be mindful of your proximity to both the water and the shore. This area of the province has ticks present from April to June, so check yourself thoroughly after being in the woods and always keep insect repellent close at hand, especially in the spring and early summer.
The trails tend to be wet in the spring and late fall and the weather in Nova Scotia can change quickly and drastically. While this can make for some spectacular sights it can also make for some wet walks. We suggest that you pack rain gear and a pair of dry socks no matter what the weather. We have highlighted a few of the many spectacular hiking and biking trails, as well as some canoe routes of the area. We recommend that you stop in at one of our local Visitor Information Centres and ask for a trail guide or purchase one of the books listed in the Outdoor Adventure Resources section. They will be of invaluable assistance to you and provide a more detailed description of the trails, as well as facts about the history, geography and geology of the area.
