It Boasts World-Class Hiking

Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, seeking stunning vistas, or looking for a rugged woodland adventure, Nova Scotia has the hiking trail for you. With hundreds, if not thousands, of miles of trails traversing winding coastlines, craggy cliffs, mossy forests, sandy beaches, and sheer rock faces, spectacular landscapes lie around every bend. Sweeping coastal views await atop Castle Rock with three different trail options to choose from, and the Liscomb River Trail on the Eastern Shore includes a suspension bridge that overlooks a waterfall and a nearby fish ladder, which was constructed to help restock Atlantic salmon. You should also consider a trip to the world-famous Cape Breton Highlands National Park and indulge in the breathtaking scenery offered by 26 hiking trails that range from easy to challenging, including the iconic Skyline Trail. Or, travel the 186-mile Cabot Trail that weaves through the magnificent highlands and along the jagged coastline.
