Not only a nature lover's delight, this area is rich in the heritage of the people. With stories of building dikes, farms to feed the poor, and how the tracks were built, the area offers a rich and colourful history. The recreational opportunities offered by this discarded corridor are exceptional. Seniors can casually walk. Young families can enjoy uninterrupted quality time together.
Cyclists can pedal knowing they are safe.
Cross country skiers can enjoy their sport with out having to drive for two hours. Even those with wheelchairs or with strollers can enjoy this trail. All of this at a cost that everyone can afford, and it's only minutes from the core of the city. The natural beauty and marshland wonders of the Salt Marsh Trail make it a prime coastal destination in itself. The trails outlined in this document add at least five key ecosystems to the wonderfully diversified Halifax RDA's Regional Trail System.
