Blomidon Provincial Park

Directions:

From highway 101 take exit 11 north to Greenwich (at highway 1). Take highway 358 north to North's Corner. Turn right onto North Medford Road, then left onto Pereaux Road. Follow this road to its end at the park.

Description:
Blomidon Park is positioned on top an impressive 183m (600ft) cliff, which dominates the skyline of the Minas Basin. The reddish sandstone hillside is based by broad mud flats exposed by the retreat of the highest tides in the world, up to a 12m (40ft) elevation change.

More than 13km (8mi) of walking paths criss-cross the wooded grounds, with routes climbing from the waterline up the steep slope to look-offs offering expansive views of Kings County. Completing the entire trail system can require 4-5 hours, although casual walkers and families with young children can enjoy themselves on one of several shorter loops.

The 759ha (1,875a) park includes 70 campsites, and picnic areas both at the top and the bottom of the hill.
