There are countless trails criss-crossing HRM. Some are informal footpaths used for generations for hunting and fishing, others are on old rail beds taken over and managed by community groups, others are in public parks. There are even water trails along the coast.
HRM's emerging Regional Trail System reflects the widest possible range of experiences associated with our diverse natural history landscapes. The system features challenging wilderness trails with a guaranteed high degree of environmental and ecological integrity, multi-use, shared trails which link communities and offer visitors a unique glimpse of our cultural/living history, coastal trails which traverse beaches, truncated headlands and estuaries and offer outstanding vistas, and urban greenways which offer that unique opportunity for overnight visitors to exercise in a pleasant natural setting.
