Delaps Cove Wilderness Trail - 25th anniversary
Explore the Bay of Fundy Shore - Located about 24 km northwest of Annapolis Royal, NS, on the Bay of Fundy Shore, the Delaps Cove Wilderness Trail system is open year-round and is comprised of two trails: Bohaker Trail (2.2 km loop) and Charlie's Trail (8km return).
Delaps Cove - Hiking in Nova Scotia
Delaps Cove Wilderness Trail System is located along the shores of the Bay of Fundy near the historic town of Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia.
There are two short loop trails (Bohaker & Charlies) connected by a 3k old government road, making the overall trip a little over 9km.
Bohaker trail is 2.2 km long and offers a great view of a waterfall at the coast. Adventurous people can use the old frayed rope to descend down to the ocean floor.
Charlies trail is 1.9 km long. What makes this trail interesting as the site was once a settlement of Freed Blacks. Some say they settled here around the time of the American Revolution. This trail is still under development, but you can see a number of relics, wood from docks, stone foundation, etc...
Expect to not have any cell phone reception in this area. The trailhead offers a parking lot, a few picnic tables and outhouse. Keep pets on leash and an eye on smaller children once you reach the coast. Make note of the tide schedule to visit during low tide.

On a cool spring day, we attempted the do the big loop starting at the bottom and hiking along sections of Joudrey, Loop, Woodlands and Borden Brook Trails. The total distance is close to 13kms and features a BIG uphill at the start, but once you reach the top, the elevation change is moderate with mostly flat for a lot of segments. You'll be walking a section of the Joudrey trail along the campsite access roads,.
Jodrey Trail
5.6 km (3.5 mi.) | Moderately Challenging Trail
The trail skirts 183 m (600 ft.) sea cliffs with numerous viewing stations overlooking the Minas Basin. The trail gradually climbs to 190 m, winding through a sugar maple, yellow birch and beech forest
Look-Off Trail
900 m (0.6 mi.)| Basic trail
The trail climbs through sugar maple and yellow birch forest reaches 160 m, offering views of the Minas Basin and Five Islands Provincial Park, 24 km (15 mi.) across the bay.
The Woodland Trail
2.5 km (1.3 mi.) | Basic trail
A pleasant walk through a mixed forest of sugar maple, yellow birch, white spruce and balsam fir.
Borden Brook Trail
3.5 km (2.2 mi.) | Moderately Challenging Trail
Located about halfway between the day-use area and the park office. The trail climbs to a height of 185 m crossing Borden Brook, with a short walk to a waterfall.

Mount Uniacke Estate - Hiking in Nova Scotia
In this video, I will be hiking the easy trails within the Mount Uniacke Estate Museum grounds. I'm also hunting for a historical item from the past.
By hiking along the old post trail, you might find one of the few remaining items from the old stage coach days, where the mile marker 27 is etched into a stone.
There are 7 trails to explore, just by doing the easy ones as in the video, you will need to budget around 2 hours and expect the walk at least 6km.
We hiked along the following trails: Lake Martha Loop, Post Road, Drumlin Field & Hothouse Hill. There are some back country loop, but we did explore them today.
The grounds are open year-around, but expect regular seasonal hours to access the museum itself.
Some excerpts from the museum website:
Built as a summer home for Richard John Uniacke, a Nova Scotian Attorney-General, the estate was prominently located along the stage coach route from Halifax to Windsor, a testimony to Uniacke's wealth and personal achievement.
The family summered in the area as early as the 1790s, probably staying in a farmhouse on the original land grant. Construction of the new house and out-buildings began in 1813 and was completed three years later. Although he maintained a house in Halifax, Uniacke would spend most of his time living in semi-retirement at the estate until his death in 1830.
Nostalgic for his native Ireland, he modeled his property after the Irish country estates, or working farms, he had known as a child. His estate included a large family home, a number of barns, a coach house, guest house, wash house, baths, privy, hot house, caretaker's house and an ice house.

Acacia Valley Trails - Hiking in Nova Scotia
** GET THE GEAR ON AMAZON**
We waited until the rain stopped and hiked almost 9kms of moss and granite near Digby, Nova Scotia within the Acacia Valley Hiking Trails.
We go down mill road and the trailhead is at the end of the road. You have the established trail along the Acacia river on the right (the car is facing uphill) and the newly established extension trail on the left. Doing both trails will total almost 9km of hiking along moss & granite.
Now some GPS tracks might show a loop but being not familiar with the trail, it ended up being an out & back. Mind you that ATV trail and old roads do pepper the trail, so there seems to be always another way to get back to your car. But I just followed the trail marker.
That's one thing I like about this trail -; it was marked very well, even if it was mostly trail tape.
the elevation was minor, only a short section of the extension trail had some elevation. What mattered is having good footwear as some of the moss sections were wet.
For a trail system being so close to the main exit to Digby, this was a nice hike on unique terrain

Annapolis County Tent Dwellers Canoe Expedition for Teens 2011
A legacy from the 2008 Centennial celebration of the Tent Dwellers...
Eight teens from Annapolis County and their two adult guides set out in August 2011, from the Legendary Milford House on a 7-day canoe expedition through Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site for the Tobeatic Wilderness.
Since 2008, Annapolis County Recreation Services has been sharing the outdoors with teens through their Tent Dwellers Canoe Adventure program. Inspired by Albert Bigelow Paine's The Tent Dwellers, the youth spend a week canoeing and camping taking with them all the food and supplies they need.
Published over 100 years ago, The Tent Dwellers tells the story of a two-week canoe and trout fishing journey dreamed up by Paine's friend Eddie Breck and led by two Nova Scotia wilderness guides, Del Thomas and Charles Charlton. To reach the starting point of the canoe and trout fishing expedition, Paine traveled by steamer from Boston to Yarmouth, by train from Yarmouth to Annapolis Royal, and by horse and wagon to meet up with Breck and their guides at the Legendary Milford House. Over the course of 14 days as the foursome paddled and portaged to what Paine describes as the edge of the unknown, dozens of trout were caught and consumed, and over 150 miles of wilderness lake and river water were explored and paddled.
This modern-day expedition followed a similar route with the group spending a day at Milford House making final preparations before setting out the following day for Kejimkujik Lake and the wilderness beyond. Guiding the teens into the backcountry were Erin Todd and André Bouchard, Active Living Facilitator for Annapolis County. In preparation for the trip, the teens took part in packing their food and equipment. By the end of the journey, the teens were able to set up camp, prepare meals, manage campfires, navigate by canoe with map and compass and much more.
Visitors to Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site welcomed the young Tent Dwellers home at Keji's annual Tent Dwellers Canoe Festival weekend. The youth made a slideshow presentation of their journey to an audience of almost 700 people (not a typo; 700! Park staff did a head-count) on Friday, August 12, before a free David Myles concert at Keji's outdoor theatre near the Jeremy's Bay Campground. Old Man Luedecke even made a special surprise guest appearance.
Royal Fundy Fish Market and Restaurant
Nova Scotia trip, June 2009, stopped in Digby for their world-famous scallops. Jim had sauteed scallops with Poutine, a cheese curd and gravy-on french fries dish. I had a more traditional fish & chips. Wonderful!
