Big Blue On The Bay

1 site ¡ RV, Tent4 acres ¡ Maitland, NS
"Big Blue" sits atop a lawn covered hill on the shore of the Cobequid Bay. A grove of fir and pine trees offer a sense of woodland solitude and fairies. The energy is magical. You can enjoy a front row seat or amble down over the lawn to sit on the end of the public wharf to watch the tidal bore squeeze into the mouth of the Shubenacadie River. It won't be long and you can marvel at the force of the water as it turns and begins to pour back toward the Bay of Fundy. Walk across the dyke to reach the oldest continually operating general store in North America - Frieze and Roy. Beyond the Wharf, a locally stocked craft shop borders us on the easterly side of the lawn. Next to it you will find Dawson Dowel Picnic Park, a playground and basketball court. On the westerly side of the driveway you there is a marsh area. The remnants of the shipyard where the WD Lawrence was built in the 1800's can be seen poking through the sand on the beach directly in front of the marsh. At low tide you can walk for miles in a westerly direction. Always be Tide Aware! Across the road from the marsh is the residence of WD Lawrence himself. It is a provincial museum. Directly across from Big Blue is a Ducks Unlimited pond. The sound of the geese and ducks can be heard 24 hours a day! There is a path that circumvents most of the pond. Adjacent to the Lawrence House parking lot there is an observatory where you can linger and watch the shenanigans of the occasional muskrat or possibly a beaver. The washrooms are accessed through a side door on the verandah of the main house. There are three showers and three toilets. If happen to be missing your "workout" there is a treadmill and exercise bike available to use. Outdoor fire regulations are strictly adhered to. There is a BBQ available for a small fee. Other perks (subject to scheduling) available at an additional cost might include: In-house Concerts; Reiki Sessions; Workshops and Ceremonies

The best camping near Balmoral Mills Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Nestled beside the historic Balmoral Grist Mill Museum, Balmoral Mills Provincial Park offers a tranquil escape. Visitors can indulge in leisurely picnics, immerse themselves in the calm of nature, and explore the picturesque surroundings on foot. While the park does not feature campgrounds, its close ties with the museum provide a unique cultural backdrop to every visit, making it an ideal spot for a day trip filled with relaxation and discovery.

When to go

The best time to visit Balmoral Mills Provincial Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the museum is likely to be open. Autumn also offers a spectacular display of foliage. Winters can be harsh, and the park may be less accessible due to snow, so it's less ideal for visits.

Know before you go

  • Check the Balmoral Grist Mill Museum operating hours before planning your visit, as the park is operated by the museum.
  • Wear comfortable footwear suitable for walking and exploring the scenic areas.
  • Bring a picnic basket and enjoy a meal amid the park's natural beauty.
  • Be mindful of the local wildlife and maintain a respectful distance.
  • Remember to carry out all trash and keep the park pristine for others to enjoy.
