Welcome to the third edition of Nova Scotia Backroad Mapbook. Readers of our previous editions will see several significant improvements in this edition. In addition to countless new roads we have also tracked down hundreds of new trails (hiking and motorized) and continued to add to the impressive number of recreation opportunities. Complementing the maps, our reference section has been greatly expanded and now includes new sections for Hunting, ATV Trails and Snowmobile Trails on top of many additions in the other sections (from Fishing to Winter Recreation).

The backroads of Nova Scotia are never far from the sea; in fact no portion of the province is more than 56 kilometres from the ocean, and the oceans define the land, the culture and the very heart of the province. No wonder, then that fishing plays a large part of the character of the province, and it’s not just ocean fishing. From the mighty salmon producing river, the Margaree, that crosses Cape Breton, to the Mersey River that stretches from north to south, there are some magnificent waterways to lure fishermen and paddlers alike. There are lakes a plenty, which hold plenty of brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout and a variety of other fish. However, ocean fishing is the big draw here, and mackerel, cod, capelin, hake, flounder, pollack, catfish, blue—mako—or Porbeagel shark are some of the deep sea fishing that helps make Nova Scotia one of Canada's most well known fishing destinations.

The seacoast also provides nesting and landing spots for numerous birds year round, making Nova Scotia a great place for wildlife enthusiasts. You may see the Atlantic puffin, sometimes called “clowns of the sea” because of their bright plumage, or the sandhill crane. Sea life, such as dolphins and whales, can often be seen right from the shore.

History is very evident throughout Nova Scotia’s towns and villages with more than four centuries of European settlement history and Mi’kmaq traditions that stretch back thou-sands of years. Annapolis Royal and the Celtic tradition in Cape Breton are examples of how Nova Scotia people preserve and share their past with the world through a variety of living history sites.

It’s easy to explore Nova Scotia by following the scenic driving routes around the province. Start at its core, the city of Halifax, which is home to almost 40% of Nova Scotia’s residents and more than 15% of all Atlantic Canadians, before branching out in any direction to pursue an adventure that fits your spirit. The Trans-Canada and 100-series high-ways are limited-access, rapid-transit highways, while the scenic routes are slower paced. The Nova Scotia section of the Trans-Canada Highway is a direct route from the New Brunswick border near Amherst to the Newfoundland ferry terminal in Cape Breton. A short extension, Highway 106 to Caribou, leads to Prince Edward Island via a ferry ser-vice.

In addition to the paved roads, there are all manner of secondary dirt and gravel roads to explore. These can be rough, sometimes nearly impossible to drive, but many of these roads lead to areas that few people ever visit: hidden coves, pocket beaches, great fishing lakes and wonders untold can be discovered on the backroad system.

There is a lot to see and do in Nova Scotia throughout the year. Although the spring fishing, summer seacoast, and fabulous fall colours likely draw the most attention, the Backroad Mapbook will help you explore Canada’s seacoast province like no other resource. In addition to the maps, the writing will open your dreams to places you didn’t realize even existed. So sit back and enjoy what we have to offer.
