Relaxing Summer Fun for the Whole Family
Who doesn’t love taking a summer drive to visit a new place? If you start out on the #2 highway, with Stewiacke as your destination, you’ll find just what you need.
In addition to the beautiful countryside, you’ll see rolling hills, endless farmland, and unique spots like the Meadows Two Rivers Tidal Bore Viewing Area where you will see the confluence of the Shubenacadie and Stewiacke rivers, view eagles and see a tidal bore and so much more…
Once you arrive in Stewiacke, be sure to stop for a quick coffee and breakfast at one of the many local spots like Tim Hortons, Robins or Subway or stop in for a coffee and a treat at Big River Café.
Spend the morning strolling the many scenic trails in the area, including Stewiacke River Country Trail and the John Crawford Trail. If your four-legged friends are with you, be sure to visit the Barking Lot, located at the recreation fields as part of the River Country Trail. You can walk your dog off-leash in a fenced-in area, including a separate section for smaller dogs.
