Blomidon Provincial Park |
Trail Summary |
|
Near Kentville, Blomidon Provincial Park is located on the Minas Basin. The basin is known for the world’s highest tides and as such, provides some unique opportunities to see mother nature at its most impressive.
The trails themselves follow along the cliffs and provide a 3 or 4 hour hike that includes some steep climbs on the way up. The trails are well marked even though the maps can be confusing (“you are here” with no X marks the spot).
There is a very large camp ground in the middle of the park with all related facilities. The campground can also be used as a shortcut for part of the trail.
Be sure to find out the times for the high and low tides. Watching the tide come in is one of the most spectacular shows mother nature has to offer. Low tide is also quite spectacular as miles of clay which just hours ago was under water is exposed. |
