Features and Amenities

From here you can see the navigational entrance from the ocean to the Narrows Basin.  It is located to the left of the rocky outcrop seen at the far side of the Basin from this bridge. The Basin is tidal and at one point small fishing boats would have brought their catches into the wharves located here.  This sheltered harbour also provides a great anchorage during our storm season.  The Narrows Basin is part of Mahone Bay, and considered one of Eastern Canada’s finest boating communities.  More information on the actual Bay, may be found at www.mahoneislands.ns.ca

To the East, toward Chester, you will reach Martins River Fire Department parking area and continue over the magnificent Martins River Bridge to the end of The Dynamite Trail.  To the West, toward Mahone Bay, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the water from the bench up ahead.  Or continue on until you reach the Oakland Road parking area. If you continue on from there, you will reach beautiful Oakland Lake, where we have another set of benches.
