Paddlers will enjoy exploring the many islands and small bays in the harbour. Birders will appreciate the ease in observing shorebirds in the area (Shelburne County is one of the best bird watching regions in Nova Scotia); and hikers and walkers will find the miles of new and old hiking trails difficult to resist.
