This is your only hike today, allowing some free time to explore Lunenburg, visit the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, and take in the town's historic architecture.

Hike the Cape Split trail. This popular path through the forest pops out on a grass-topped cliff right next to a sea stack - the perfect spot for a snack. Watch the powerful Bay of Fundy tide swirl around below you. On the drive, you'll stop at a lookout with a beautiful view of the Annapolis Valley.

This hike is a bit of a challenge so some people prefer to spend the day exploring and relaxing in Wolfville. We can suggest walks and activities in the area if you decide to opt out.
