Big Blue On The Bay

2 sites · RVs, Tents4 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.

Camping in Cape Split Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at Cape Split Provincial Park, where the land meets the sea in a dramatic display of natural splendor. Venture along the 13.2 km trail that promises a moderately challenging hike, culminating in a stunning look-off point perched 60 metres above the Bay of Fundy. With no camping available, the park is a day-use paradise for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and those seeking a scenic escape.

When to go

The best time to visit Cape Split Provincial Park is between May 19th and October 9th when the park is serviced and the full splendor of nature is on display. Off-season adventurers can still access the trails, but should be prepared for no services and potentially challenging conditions.

Know before you go

  • Ensure your safety by planning your hike and packing out all garbage, as the park is not staffed.
  • Stay on the trail and keep a safe distance from the eroding cliffs.
  • Wear sturdy footwear and bring plenty of water and snacks for the journey.
  • Keep pets leashed and respect the natural environment by leaving no trace.
  • Remember, open fires are not permitted, but contained flame BBQs and cookstoves are allowed.
