HRM Trail Guide

Susies Lake

Trail Summary

· Unsuspecting entry point.

· Opportunities for boating and swimming.

· Very large for an urban park, feels like you are miles from the city.

· Lots of different types of plants, animals, and rock formations.

This is a Halifax’s newest wilderness area, and Canada’s largest urban park. It is in the process of being maintained and marked. There are a few entry points into this area, one of which is behind Kent Building Supplies in Bayers Lake, leading to Susies Lake. Another is in the Kingswood subdivision leading to Blue Mountain. It can be intimidating at first and you very quickly begin to wonder if you could get lost in there - so bring a compass and get familiar with it! There are several fairly well packed trails, and one that stands out slightly above the rest. The many lakes, hills and rock formations make for great discoveries. There are countless trails weaving across the park and this guide is meant to offer an entry point, but please keep in mind this is UNDEVELOPED nature!
