The Great Outdoors
Nova Scotia is Canada’s Ocean Playground, known for its spectacular coastal scenery, picturesque coves and harbors, and charming seaside towns and villages. Inland are lakes, forests, rivers, valleys, and highlands. We invite you to explore our coastline, to discover our natural attractions, our parks, and our wilderness areas. You’re sure to find a special comer of Nova Scotia to call your own.
Nova Scotia boasts an accessible wilderness. There are great tracts of public land and coastline all across the province. Parks, hiking trails, beaches, wildlife sanctuaries, lakes and streams are all within reach. There are guides and outfitters (旅行用品商店) to help you get the most from our great outdoors. Or you can explore on your own—find a secluded beach, hike to a sparkling waterfall, paddle to a backcountry campsite.
Get in touch with nature -- and maybe with yourself- outdoors in Nova Scotia.
National Parks
Nova Scotia is graced with two spectacular national parks offering a full range of outdoor activities.
Cape Breton Highlands National Park stretches across the nor. hem and most rugged tip of Cape Breton Island, between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic Ocean. Within its 366 square miles, the park encompasses a great variety of wildlife and landscape: a magnificent highland plateau with windswept barrens, deep-walled canyons, picturesque waterfalls, sandy beaches, and spectacular cliffs plunging into the sea. Throngh it all winds the Cabot Trail, one of the world’s most scenic drives. For golfers, the Highlands Links is one of the world’s finest courses. For skiers this area offers some of Atlantic Canada’s best skiing. Accommodations vary from motels and cabins located in nearby communities to serviced and semi-serviced campgrounds, located along the Cabot Trail. In the park itself, choose everything from backcountry campsites to full-service trailer hookups.
Kejimkujik National Park, in the remote center of southwestern Nova Scotia, preserves pristine (原始的) freshwater lakes, rivers, and boreal forest in their natural state. Island-studded lakes with wilderness campsites and an extensive network of waterways make this a canoeist’s paradise. Family camping, hiking, cycling, swimming, fishing and, in winter, cress-country skiing are also popular activities.
Camping
Nova Scotia is a camper’s haven, offering everything from tent-and-trailer villages to wilderness campsites accessible only by canoe. You can camp in the woods, beside a stream, or on a hill overlooking the ocean. Campsites are available in both national parks, 22 provincial parks, and about 130 privately operated campgrounds. All privately owned campgrounds in Nova Scotia have been inspected by government inspectors and have approved water and toilet facilities. For your safety; comfort, and enjoyment we encourage you to use our fine assortment (各类) of campgrounds. We ask you not to camp or park your camping vehicle overnight in any area that is not designated as a campground.
Bird Watching
Nova Scotia is located on the busy Atlantic flyway for migrating bird species. Late August through September is the best time to see the flocks of migrants as they converge(聚集) by the thousands on Nova Scotia’s beaches to feed before continuing their southward journey. Nova Scotia’s bird species are typical of the Acadian forest biome of the northeast and the Atlantic shore biome. The province shelters a large population of bald eagle—some 250 nesting pairs—seen quite readily and most frequently along the shores of Cape Breton’s Bras d’ Or Lakes. Other uncommon species include the rare Atlantic puffin, which nests on cliffs of the Bird Islands off the coast of Cape Dauphin, and rite endangered piping plover.
Beaches
Wherever you are in Nova Scotia, there’s sure to be beach not far away. Nova Scotia is nearly surrounded by the ocean, and there am sandy beaches along every shore. Inland, countless freshwater lakes and rivers also provide sandy shores for swimming and sunbathing. Some beaches am small and secluded, off the beaten path, wild and unfettered; others have been developed as parks, with picnic areas, change rooms, and lifeguard service.
Our beach parks are ideal for a quick dip, a picnic, or a stroll along the sand. Parks am listed in the Activity / Picnic Parks section, or you can inquire at local visitor information centers. If there am red-and-yellow flags at the beach, the supervised swimming area is between the flags; please stay within this area. At some beaches, buoys(浮标) may also be used to mark off the safe swimming area.
Whale Watching
Nova Scotia is one of the finest places on the eastern seaboard for whale watching. The Bay of Fundy is especially good, attracting large concentrations of migrating whales that come to feed in the planktonrich (富含浮游生物) waters during summer. Finback, humpback, pilot, and minke are the most common species. The rare fight whale also frequents the bay. Whale-watching charters are extremely popular, and advance reservations are advised. There are charters in the Bay of Fundy, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence of Cape Breton Island, along the Eastern Shore, and along the South Shore.
Fishing
Saltwater Fishing
Nova Scotia is surrounded by some of the richest fishing grounds in the world, and there are plenty of opportunities for saltwater sport fishing. Bluefin tuna, shark, and bluefish are the most popular gamefish. Charter boats can also take you to pollock, mackerel, haddock, cod, and halibut. Striped bass are available in certain areas and can be fished from shore or in boats close to shore. Tackle and bait are supplied by most charter boats. Saltwater fishing charters are included in the Boat Tours and Charters section.
Freshwater Fishing
Nova Scotia has been a favorite angling destination for more than a century. Speckled trout and Atlantic salmon are the most popular species. Anglers can also try for brown trout, rainbow trout, American shad, small-mouth bass, and yellow perch. Many of Nova Scotia’s rivers ate posted for fly fishing only, and anglers should be aware of the scheduled rivers, seasons, license requirements, and bag limits. Licensed outfitters and tackle shops can supply this information.
