Rails to Trails, Head of St. Margaret’s Bay
Run by The St. Margaret’s Bay Area Rails to trails volunteers association, this beautiful trail follows the route of the original railway line that served St. Margaret’s Bay’s communities, as well as it’s waterfront hotels that served as resorts for Haligonians in the late 19th and 20th centuries.Lumbering and sawmills were common, of which there is still visible evidence today. Ingramport Bay was a major base for tall ships that carried timber to distant countries.
Located just 30 minutes from downtown Halifax,this 33 Kilometer, multi-use trail winds its way from near the Hubley exit on Hwy 103 (exit 4) to Hubbards (exit 6).The trail is great for walking, cycling , horse riding amongst beautiful scenery
