EFFECTIVE AUGUST 6TH - PARK & ACCESSIBLE KAYAK LAUNCH CLOSED DUE TO PROVINCIAL RESTRICTIONS
Miller Point Peace Park is an ideal place for a leisurely scenic walk or family picnic. You can enjoy views of the LaHave River and Horseshoe Cove along the trails as you walk through the towering pines. In the spring, view hundreds of lady slippers and other flora and fauna along the 5 km of walking trails. In the fall, the changing colors are absolutely beautiful. This park has a long history indicated by the remains of stone foundations throughout the site. The trails are all level, smooth, and accessible to walkers, strollers, and wheelchairs. Outdoor washrooms are also available as well as ample parking at the park entrance. The inner parking area is open early Spring to Late Fall.
In the summer of 2025, in partnership with the NS Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism & Heritage and a Communities ACCESS-Ability Grant, the Municipality installed an accessible kayak launch from the inner parking lot area, providing easy access to the LaHave River for kayakers. The launch is attached to a concrete pad and has a transfer bench allowing users to adjust their elevation down to their kayak and rails to allowing users to pull themselves in and out of the water. There is a sign in place which explains how the launch works. Note - The slope of the ramp adjusts with the tides (steeper at low tide, almost level at high tide).
