The best part of this 85-90 km trail is the great diversity of scenery on a relatively flat rail bed. The southern half hugs the spectacular coastal route and the northern half rolls over old trestle bridges spanning deep river valleys. Along the way, stop to read the markers and posters that explain the history and geography of this old part of Scottish pioneer settlement! As others have said there are whimsical pieces of art hanging from trees and sculpture along the trail. Enjoy!

If you go in the winter, be prepared to use ice cleats. The first part of the trail is steep and when we went it was almost all ice covered. Using ice cleats we made it down with no problem, but without them it would have been treacherous. Once at the bottom, the trail follows a nice little stream running between steep hills with old growth trees. It is quiet and peaceful. It is a walk in- back out trail, so you see everything twice, but it is worth the walk.

We stumbled across this trail while coming into Antigonish from our families cottage that is nearby. We used TA to see what we could do in the area, and this trail was one of the top things to come up. We enjoyed our stroll, and the area was so calm and pretty. Lots of greenery along the lazy river, if allowed it would be great for canoeing or kayaking. It wasn’t a long trail but very flat and well groomed. There were some folks out jogging while others were strolling along like us. It wasn’t super busy which was nice, and is removed from the downtown Antigonish area, so again it gives more privacy.

The Salt Marsh Trail is absolutely one of our favourites in the Cole Harbour/Lawrencetown region of Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore. The trail is a former railway line, now converted to a level, fine gravel trail which is part of the rails to trails system. We started at Lot 2 near Bissett Road (get there early because the parking lots fill up quickly)! It’s a wonderful trail that starts off in the forest and then opens up onto beautiful vistas of Cow Bay on either side. It's equally enjoyed by cycling and walking enthusiasts. The trail stretches from Bissett Road to the Atlantic View Trail but we decided to walk only the waterview portion which is approximately 5 km each way. If you are looking for an enjoyable and scenic walk with vistas of islands, marsh, rock-strewn waters and tree-lined coastline – this is one to try! Just bring sunscreen on a sunny day!

The Van Tassel Lake Trails are a combination of service roads and single track. There is a 3.5 km single track hiking trail around the lake and two spurs: a 1 km spur leading to a look off with a view of nearby woodlands and a 900m loop leading to the Cascades - a gentle waterfall in a beechwood.
