The scenic Wentworth Valley, nestled in Nova Scotia’s Appalachian Mountains, offers beauty and adventure for all seasons. Our out-and-back trails take you to the top of the mountain for arresting views of the valley and beyond.
Looking for a quick stroll from The Barn? Our accessible hiking trail to a small waterfall in the woods is the perfect 1km easy round trip adventure.
These popular trails for birding, hiking, and snowshoeing are accessible from the bottom of the mountain year round or from the top of the mountain via the chairlift during operational hours.
Your year round adventure begins at the trail entrance in the north parking lot. Note: Trails are not patrolled. Use at your own risk.
