Nice hike. Not the most accessible trail beyond the first 400 meters after the parking lot. It turns into unmaintained paths after that but a pleasant walk nonetheless. Make sure you wear proper shoes like hiking shoes. Blundstones are ok to wear but not runners because of random wet spots. Would not recommend for little ones under 5 years old.

Great trail. Beautiful views. The hike is dog friendly and at times they will likely help your traction going up some of the rocks. One thing I will mention though is that the trail had a lot of dogs off leash when we went, only ours were leashed. This is not intended to be an off leash area. If you have reactive dogs that may not be ready to encounter dogs off leash this hike may not be appropriate for you. We had to keep our dogs close to us at times because other dog owners were not close to their dogs.

Beautiful place, just wanted to warn others of ticks in the area! Found about 20 when I got home from here.

Visit The Hidden Waterfall, Shaw Wilderness Park, Halifax NS... Accessed via a marked trail. A stream flows under the rocks and out the bottom. Part of the Williams Lake watershed.

Moderate trail without loop. Must wear winter boots in snow and keep pole.

This is my absolute favorite hiking spot. I love it so much. It's absolutely beautiful and you feel so far away from the city.

We went a few days ago in early November with our dog and although it was beautiful, we got 9 ticks on us between my partner, myself and our dog. They were all very tiny so if you go, please follow recommendations to tick check yourself, your pets and wash your clothes. The hike was lovely and well-marked along most of the trail. You will have to cross at least one stream. You could see the South End and Dartmouth on the horizons. Parking is a gravel parking lot with a trash can.

This is a fine front country hiking trail. It’s good to take a walk here with your kids and dog.

This is an awesome spot to get to the Purcells Cove backlands. Ample parking lot as well. Great cardio workout and lots of bodies of water to hike around.
