Winter is an exciting time of year in Nova Scotia. Nordic skiing, dog sledding, snowmobiling and ice fishing all beckon the outdoor enthusiast.
Nova Scotia boasts 23 cross-country ski areas. If you prefer groomed trails, you can visit the Kejimkujik and Cape Breton Highlands national parks, or the Fortress Louisburg historic site. Or if you’re more adventurous, you can simply strike out for the wilderness. Throughout the province, you’ll find plenty of groomed and ungroomed trails. Skiing and snowshoeing are great ways to see Nova Scotia in a way you’ve never seen it before.
If you’re ready for a unique adventure, you can mush through the countryside in your own dog sled. Experienced guides will lead the way and show you how to hitch up your dogs – each with its own unique personality – and steer the sled through the spectacular winter scenery. Multi-day trips are available, with the option of staying in lodges, or for the hardy, camping along the way.
Or if you’d rather zip around the countryside in your snowmobile, Nova Scotia offers a host of quality snowmobiling trails. There are many trips and safaris to choose from, and outfitters can provide snowmobiles, trail permits, safety gear and guides. Each year, more and more serious snowmobilers head for Nova Scotia.
Wintertime Nova Scotia is a hot spot for fishing, as well. Hundreds of ice fishing huts dot the frozen lakes as anglers enjoy this unique twist to their favorite pastime. The fish are hungry at this time of year, and you can relax with all the amenities in a snug hut as you haul in game fish like trout and smelt. Nova Scotians will tell you that ice fishing produces some of the tastiest fish of the year.
