Dartmouth Inclined Plane Marine Railway - Shubenacadie Canal Waterway
An animation of the Inclined Plane Marine Railway in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia in the 1860's. It was a part of the Shubenacadie Canal Waterway which allowed inland steamboats and barges across the province instead of having to negotiate the treacherous sail around Cape Sable.
In spite of all the effort and cost it was only active for a period of 10 years when the canal company ceased operations in 1871 due to the advent of railways.
Members and volunteers of the Shubenacadie Canal Commission have been working for many years to uncover this history and bring it back to life with a life size reproduction of the Flume House (the power house) which was situated over an underground turbine chamber that was powered by water from the nearby Sullivan's Pond.
The Shubenacadie Canal Waterway Marine Railway project received
international recognition at the 2016 World Canals Conference held in Inverness, Scotland.

Swim the Shubie - Official Trailer
The Shubenacadie Canal waterway spans 114km and goes through the heart of Nova Scotia. One swimmer wanted to become the first person to swim the whole waterway and experience the history, beauty, obstacles along the way.
Brief history: Archaeological evidence found along the canal waterway shows that the Mi’kmaq were using the Shubenacadie Waterway as a “main highway” between the Halifax Harbour and the Bay of Fundy at least 4,000 years ago. In 1826, plans to create a canal started as a way to make the waterway more accessible for transporting goods, by constructing nine locks to allow larger boats pass through. Today, many of the locks remain intact (although not in use) and the waterway is used for recreational purposes as it winds it's way through a series of lakes starting at Dartmouth Cove, eventually spilling out into the Bay of Fundy through the Shubenacadie River.

The History of the Shubenacadie canal
The Mechanical Workings of the Dartmouth Flume House - Shubenacadie Canal
The mechanical workings of the Dartmouth Flume House of the Inclined Plane Marine Railway.
In 1854 the Inland Navigation Company was formed and Charles Fairbanks was the lead engineer. It was decided to replace the 5 locks between Dartmouth Cove and Sullivan's Pond with the Inclined Plane.
The rails that carried the Cradle which in turn would carry a barge or steam boat extended from the Dartmouth Cove to Sullivan's Pond which was 300 meters away. The Flume House which powered the cradle was built over an underground turbine chamber which was built using two of the walls of the third lock.
There were two aqua powered Inclined Planes along the Shubenacadie Canal Waterway.
The waterway was completed and running by 1861 but it was no match for the advent of the rapidly expanding railway system and the canal company ceased operation in 1871.

Shubie Park Trail,Trans Canada Trail
Shubie Park is a 40-acre (160,000 m2) urban park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia maintained by the Halifax Regional Municipality.
Heavily forested, Shubie Park is roughly linear in shape as it is bounded on the north and west by Highway 118 expressway and on the south and east by Lake Micmac and the southern edge of Lake Charles. A section of the Shubenacadie Canal passes through the park, from which the park takes its name.
Shubie Park contains trails and an interpretive facility called the Fairbanks Centre next to the Canal and close to Locks 2 and 3 which are between Lakes Micmac and Charles. The Fairbanks Centre features a working scale model of canal lock mechanisms as well as a number of other displays. At the Centre visitors are able to pick up printed guides to the trail which goes on either side of the man-made channel between the two lakes which is just over a kilometer long. There are a number of interpretive signs along this trail which provide information about the history of the Waterway. The brochure includes directions for other trails in the Park as well.
The featured trail follows a remaining section of the waterway along the west side of Lake Charles and on to Porto Bello. Unfortunately at this time there is no connection to the Lake William Trail which will eventually allow hikers to make their way to Waverley and on to Lake Thomas. In the other direction it connects to the Graham’s Grove Park and continues toward downtown Dartmouth via Sullivans Pond Park and the Canal Marine Railway or Greenway park. In this area it is also possible to link up with the Harbourfront trail which carries on down to the Ferry Terminal in Woodside.
Episode 36: Shubie Park
Located in Dartmouth among the lakes, Shubie Park has various walking trails. It is one of many dog-friendly parks in the Halifax Regional Municipality.
The park is also an area that had been part of the Shubenacadie Canal system. Begun around 1826, the Shubenacadie Canal Company had employed mostly Irish immigrants to help in the construction of a canal that stretched from Dartmouth Cove to Maitland at the Bay of Fundy. In the park, there are remnants of workcamps inhabited by the Irish stonemasons. Plus, there are restored canal locks throughout the park site.
The story of the Shubenacadie Canal is available at the Fairbanks Interpretation Centre. The Shubenacadie Canal Commission has its headquarters at the interpretation centre. It is responsible for the restoration and maintenance of the canal system.

Skating down the Shubie Canal
The Shubenacadie Canal is 114KM that goes from the Halifax Harbour through the province and ends in the Bay of Fundy. For thousands of years this waterway was used by the Mikmaq peoples and more recently in 1826, canal construction began. On this glorious day, we took advantage of freezing temperatures and got to skate on an almost 1km frozen narrow section through the trees in Shubenacadie Park in Dartmouth, NS.
