Through funding from Department of Health Promotion and Protection, Bicycle Nova Scotia contracted Eastwind Cycle (EWC) to conduct a feasibility report on the interest and potential for such an initiative. The Phase I report entitled “Scoping the Blue Route: Feasibility of A Nova Scotia Bikeways Network,” was completed in January 2009. That report provides the rationale for a province-wide bikeways network, examples from other regions and a baseline map for suggested transportation routes. To build on the Phase I the report and its recommendations were presented across Nova Scotia in communities from Yarmouth to Port Hawkesbury from September 2009 – March 2010. The specific goals and objectives of Phase II are summarized in Goals in Appendix I.

  • Lighthouse Route
    Lighthouse Route Halifax to Chester The first leg of your journey will take you southwest along Highway 333 to Whites Lake, on your way to Peggy's Cove's timeless beauty. Continue on Route 3 until you enter Lewis Lake Provincial Park, which is just before Upper Tantallon.

Before arriving in East River, the Lighthouse Route takes you along the Aspotogan Peninsula's ruggedly beautiful coastline, passing through small coastal villages like Blandford, Bayswater, and Northwest Cove. The Lighthouse Route continues to Chester, a historic seaside town known for sailing, tennis, stately homes, studio galleries, and a laid-back attitude. Chester is also the starting point for a trip to the Tancook Islands at the mouth of Mahone Bay, one of Nova Scotia's hidden gems. From Chester, a passenger ferry service operates for 8 kilometres (5 miles) to the islands of Big Tancook and Little Tancook. Driving Distance – 138 KM Chester to Bridgewater (via Lunenburg) Today's colour and coastal elegance will not let you down. The Lighthouse Route continues to Martin's River, where an elegant shoreline park provides spectacular views of the bay and its islands. The Lighthouse Route continues on Route 3 to Mahone Bay from here. The view will entice you to pull over, park your car, and take a walk along the water. A exclusive array of studios and galleries of some of Canada's finest artists and craftspeople, specialty and general- needs shops, a bar, restaurants and cafes, and a visitor information centre line the narrow streets.

  • Place Marker
    Two Travelers in Eastern Canada Copyright 2000, by Bob and Elsa Pendleton Introduction This is not a travel guide, as it makes no attempt to be exhaustive, or to rate particular activities. Rather, it is a travel journal; we hope our observations may be of interest to prospective travelers, and invite comments from others who have been to the same places. Since a book like this necessarily reflects the background and biases of its writers, let us briefly define ourselves. We were born in 1937, married in 1958, and retired in 1999. We had lived in seven states east of the Mississippi until 1970 and in Southern California thereafter, most recently in the Indian Wells Valley, in the Mojave desert. After retirement, we sold our house and began to travel full time. Our goals as travelers are primarily educational; we want to understand the areas we visit and their people. Our professional backgrounds include computer science, data management, French literature, law, librarianship, mathematics, naval operations analysis, and the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve. Our amateur interests include philology and reading. Neither of us is particularly athletic, although we enjoy walks, both in town and country. We have two children and three grandchildren. From June through August, 2000, we traveled through eastern Canada by car, staying in motels and occasionally a hotel. We entered New Brunswick from Maine, and have visited Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, eastern Quebec, and spent one night on the French island of St. Pierre. We read many books, fiction and non-fiction, to help us understand the region we were visiting.
