With such a variety of landscape, Nova Scotia is a dream destination for cyclists. Take a solo ride or hook up with one of the many biking tours offered around the province.
Cabot Trail
Take a ride along the 300km Cabot Trail and enjoy some of the most stunning scenery in the world! Voted one of the top 10 cycling destinations in the world by Lonely Planet, the trail is especially jaw-dropping in the fall when the leaves change colour, but it’s spectacular throughout the spring and summer as well. Tackle the entire trail or take day trips from towns along the way.
