The Evangeline Trail Book
Start your journey in the historic seaport of Yarmouth. Yarmouth,
which is about 3 hours from Halifax, is the hub of this south
western tip of Nova Scotia. This area is renowned for its Acadian
history and it is speckled with colourful fishing villages, towering
churches and the spectacular Cape Forchu lighthouse. Tourists will
also discover the oldest courthouse in Canada, the largest wooden
church in North America, and museums and galleries. Over 400 years
of Acadian history make this area ideal for exploring the
French-speaking villages. Explore Acadian culture through the
museums and music festivals.
The Evangeline Trail hugs the Bay of Fundy coast and is home to some
of North America’s earliest European settlements. Bring your camera
to capture the delightful villages, orchards and vineyards of the
Annapolis Valley. An area rich in farms and fishing villages steeped
in culture, charm and natural beauty.
Migrating shore birds, whales and diverse marine life can be found
in July and early August refuelling on the natural bounty of the bay
and on the mud shrimp exposed by the receding Fundy tides. The power
of nature is evident all along the Evangeline trail, with its
world-famous tides and ever-changing landscape of rocky shores,
fertile farmlands, salt marshes and broad sandy beaches. Visit with
our member B&Bs and learn more first hand. This area is a
naturalist’s dream!
Explore the Bay of Fundy where you can watch the highest tides in
the world. Go whale watching, hiking, kayaking along the rugged
coast, try some world famous Digby Scallops or simply enjoy watching
the high tides along the Bay of Fundy. Explore historic farms and
fishing villages along the coast. The fertile Annapolis Valley is
home to the world famous apples orchards and the Nova Scotia wine
region
