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

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.

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.

Hiking the Jodrey Trail | Blomidon Provincial Park | Nova Scotia | Canada
#BlonidonProvincialPark
#JodreyTrail
#HikeNovaScotia
Within the beautiful Blomidon Provincial Park are several trails, which are linked as a loop. Today we have completed all of them. You begin on the most popular trail - the Jodrey Trail, where you get great looks of the New Minus Basin (Atlantic Ocean) and Five Islands Provincial Park on the other side.
Most of the hike is wooded with the exception of the few overlook sections. The Overlook trail connects with the Jodrey trail at the very end to offer a few more view points of the ocean.
The final section is the woodland trail. You can decide here to turn back and hike the way you came in, or continue to hike through the woods back to the start location. We didn't feel like having the same scenery the entire time, so we took all three trails.

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

Solo Hiking and Camping in Rogue's Roost Wilderness Area - Terence Bay Nova Scotia Canada
First time back to the Roost since last year. An overnight excursion into the Rogue's Roost Wilderness Area in Terence Bay, Nova Scotia on Victoria Day and the following Tuesday. 20km in the back country over coastal barrens covered in swamps and glacial erratics. I need to jury rig something on the camera to block that wind noise out for my next trip. Should be tolerable however. Hopefully some of you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching.
