Local History
Located in the heart of the province, Falls Lake, which borders our development and one our of private beach is located on, is the last in a chain of numerous lakes, which are the source waters for the Avon River. Falls lake is so named for the falls that once existed where the dam was built at the North end of the lake in 1926. Salmon could not jump the falls and spawned at the base. The dam increased the water depth up to twenty feet (approximately seven meters). Underneath this lake at the North end is Pugley’s Lumber Mill, built in the late 1800’s. Much lumber was cut in the Vaughan area and sluiced down Mint River and Mockingee Lake to the mill. Lumber was sluiced around the falls down Avon River to Windsor, where it was loaded onto boats for export. With the lake levels reduced by fifteen feet one can see the remnants of what was a very busy lumber camp. In the early 1900’s a forest fire started in the New Ross area and ravaged the mill and all the lands surrounding this lake extending to Martock. Spared were the trees on the South side of Mint River and others protected by bogs and favorable winds. This fire explains why there are few sizable evergreen trees on the lake. Hardwood like birch, maple, ash and oak are the first to reappear after forest fires. The softwood including the pines, spruce, fir and hemlock finally emerge years later. The bareness of hardwoods and the shape of the valley create a strong echo effect on this narrow lake. The rock type of Falls Lake area is mainly granite, creating the extensive bedrock and rock faces that are evident on the shoreline and surrounding hills. There is also rich mineralization in the New Ross/Leminster area, including West Falls. The Department of Natural Resources has an excellent map detailing minerals and their location. The most recent mining interest was 1979-1981, when uranium exploration was conducted on both sides of the Falls Lake by the Aquitaine Company of Canada. The Falls Lake area, Vaughan and Leminster are all areas of known uranium deposits. The extensive exploration on the West side resulted in a road starting at the entry now used by Falls Lake West development but continuing to the upper Levy Meadows still waters. A moratorium on uranium exploration prevented activation of mining sites in the early 1980’s.

Glamping in Bay of Fundy with swimming guide
Overview
The Bay of Fundy is a unique natural wonder in eastern Canada. Bordered by the provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, it’s famous for having the highest tides in the world. The difference between high and low tide can be as much as 40 feet. The area offers spectacular hiking through forests, coastal trails, and even on the ocean floor during low tide (you’ll want to pay close attention to tidal times, though!) Animal lovers will appreciate the chance to see whales, seals, and migratory birds, and the Bay of Fundy is also an excellent fishing region, making it a prime spot for any camping adventure.
Where to go
Saint John, New Brunswick
Those arriving via ferry will land in the seaside city of Saint John. Once known as a somewhat gritty, industrial-focused destination, Saint John is fun, vibrant, and filled with travel attractions. A must-visit spot is the Saint John City Market, Canada’s oldest continuing farmers’ market and an ideal location to pick up local delicacies, including smoked fish, blueberries, and maple syrup.
Fundy National Park, New Brunswick
A superb destination for camping, hiking (there are more than 30 trails), golf, cycling, swimming, kayaking, and birdwatching, Fundy National Park is an excellent spot to view the region’s famous tides. When the tides are low, you can see the area’s well-known “flowerpots.” These rusty red stone sea stacks owe their distinctive appearance to the forces of erosion.
Wolfville, Nova Scotia
Wolfville is the gateway to Nova Scotia’s famed wine industry. As part of the Annapolis Valley, Wolfville is a prime growing area and you’ll find ample farmers’ markets, gardens, and—of course—wine. Key names include Benjamin Bridge, Luckett Vineyard, and Domaine de Grand Pré.
Digby, Nova Scotia
This seaside fishing town is where you’ll go to catch the ferry to New Brunswick, but you’ll want to hang around for a few days. The community likes to boast that it has the most delicious sea scallops in the world and seafood restaurants abound. There’s a vibrant arts scene here as well. Renowned Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis lived by Digby for decades and visitors can check out the memorial to her tiny home where she painted thousands of pieces of art.
