VAN TASSEL LAKE TRAILS
Nestled in the beautiful Town of Digby, the Van Tassel Lake Trails offer an incredible outdoor experience across 550 acres of scenic woodlands. Conveniently starting from the gravel parking lot at 859 Culloden Road, visitors can find a detailed map and information about the various trails available. The network features a mix of wide gravel access roads and charming wilderness paths, leading to breathtaking views of the main Van Tassel Lake, a smaller reservoir, and even wind turbines operated by the Municipality of the District of Digby.
Whether you’re looking for a short stroll or a more challenging hike, the trails cater to all adventurers. A 3.5 km single-track trail circles the lake, while two spurs provide additional options: a 1 km lookoff that offers stunning views over the woodlands and through a gap in the hills to Conway, Smith’s Cove and Marshalltown. As well as a 900m loop leading to the Cascades- a gentle waterfall nestled in a beechwood grove. Don’t forget to check out the new Brookside Wilderness Trail, the latest addition that promises to enhance your hiking experience!
The heart of these trails is the dedicated community that helps maintain them. The Van Tassel Lake Trails Association regularly hosts volunteer days to ensure the paths remain in great condition for everyone to enjoy. Just a friendly reminder: please keep your dogs on a leash to protect the local wildlife and ensure a safe experience for all. For updates on trail events and volunteer opportunities, be sure to like and follow the Van Tassel Lake Trails Association on Facebook page Van Tassel Lake Trails Association on Facebook. So grab your hiking gear and explore the beauty of Van Tassel Lake—adventure awaits!
