The hiking trails

The scenic Wentworth Valley, nestled in Nova Scotia’s Appalachian Mountains, offers beauty and adventure for all seasons. Our out-and-back trails take you to the top of the mountain for arresting views of the valley and beyond.

This is a popular trail for birding, hiking, and snowshoeing, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of the day. The trail is accessible year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime.

Your adventure begins at the trail entrance in the north parking lot.
