Tour
22 Chignecto Bay / Minas Basin
Distance: 220
km (132 miles)
Starting Point:
Amherst; Parrsboro; Truro
Region: Central
Nova Scotia
Terrain: Rolling
to very Hilly
This is one
of the most scenic and unpublicized
areas of Nova Scotia. You are sure to
find this tour a most unexpected surprise.
Wide open spaces, and magnificent scenery
lie along the renown Bay of Fundy
. Divided into two sections, this tour
of the Nova Scotia Bicycle Book
runs from Amherst to Parrsboro, Truro,
then "restarts" there, to enable convenient
connections, and to focus on the different
natures of each part.
This quiet area was once a busy shipbuilding
region. Today in places there is no
one for long stretches. Along the shores
semiprecious stones are revealed in
soil eroded from the cliffs. Acadian
dykes still line the marshes and wild
blueberry fields run up into the hills.
Now completely paved, the road is referred
to as "the mini Cabot Trail". Spectacular
views are commonplace.
