Nova Scotia

Blue Route – Bike Network

A provincial cycling network in Nova Scotia that is currently under development. Parts of the routes are on trails, but the majority is on paved roads, often with no shoulder.

We’ve created a map highlighting the surface type for various segments. We’ve also created a dedicated blog post where we share links to the GPS tracks on Komoot and Ride With GPS.

Harvest Moon Trail – Bike Trail

A 110 km multi-use trail from Grand Pré to Annapolis Royal. The route is part of the “Blue Route” in Nova Scotia, but trail conditions aren’t suitable everywhere for hybrid bikes.
