Tour
14 LaHave
Distance: 79 km (47 miles)
Starting Point:
Riverport; Lunenburg; Bridgewater
Region: South
Shore
Terrain: Flat (optional extension of tour hilly)
On this easy
tour, you explore both sides of the
LaHave River. Open to the ocean, this
scenic waterway has both a fresh as
well as a saltwater section. A short-cut
of 6.4 km (4.0 mi.) is also offered.
Several spots will be available to take
breaks. A short ferry ride transports
you across the LaHave to follow the
edge of its western shore.
At Bridgewater, the salt water section
of the river is met by fresh water flowing
from inland lakes. At this point the
Nova Scotia Bicycle Book offers a tour extension, by an option of going further
up the river. Crossing over, you can
return on the other side.
