Cornwallis River and Port William
 |
The Tides of the Bay of Fundy and the Minas Basin are legendary. At high tide at this location the Cornwallis River looks like any other river. 6 hours later the river is virtually empty. Always amazing. |

Cape Split Trail
 |
The end or start of the highway. The parking lot for the Cape Split hiking trail. If you have a few (3) hours, you MUST hike to the end of this trail. It is an easy trail to walk, a bit up hill, but well worth it. The breath-taking views from the top of Cape Split overlooking the Bay of Fundy make this amoung the top 10 places to go in Nova Scotia, without a doubt. Take a lunch or a book, and lie down in the field at the end of the trail. The tides roar past the Split while the seabirds sing and fish. Enchanting! |
