    Actually we call it the BLT Trail, which is easier to say! We have been cycling here for about 6…read moreyears now. It is gorgeous. The trail is on the site of an abandoned railway line leading west out of Halifax towards the South Shore. This trail also leads into the city now, to the new Chain of Lakes Trail, so you can get to the BLT from a Halifax recreational trail. At the other end of the BLT you can connect to the St. Margaret's Bay Rails to Trails and ride out to Tantallon and beyond to Boutliers Point and Ingramport. We have gone both ways. They are essentially one trail, but they go by different names in different parts. I guess they were built at different times, or run by different associations. To get there from Clayton Park, we drive through Bayers Lake and go out the other side passing by Rona and the Canadiana restaurant. Here you turn right onto highway 3. Then you drive a little bit, then turn right on Lakeside Park drive. Look for the Coca Cola plant on your left. Park your car in the lot and you are at the trail head for the BLT. Here you can get on your bike or begin your walk. There is parking for about 20 cars. There used to be ATVs on the trail, but I think they discontinued them. I see people walking and people riding their bikes. People walk their dogs there too. I know of one beaver dam, one waterfall, and once I saw some deer at the far end of the trail. There is a big lake in the middle with benches to sit on, (called Cranberry Lake) and often people and/or dogs go for a swim. The whole trail is about 13 kms long, from the Coke plant to the St. Margaret's Bay Trail. We bring bikes, helmets and a snack in the panier. It is fun to be outside in the fresh air. A really nice spot to spend a few hours.

    Another beautiful section on Rails to Trails, the first 5km from Lakeside Park Dr toward Timberlea…read morehad a lot of traffic and one major road crossing. But after that it's a great ride and you could go all the way to the Bike and Bean in Timberlea or further.

    Perhaps the most popular hike within the park is the ravine trail. The information below is…read morespecifically about this loop. It's 4 kms or 2.5 miles, a loop trail, and has elevation gains of 93m or 315 feet. The trailhead located off the Bedford Highway on Kent Avenue (across from the Rotunda and has parking lot has space for ~20 vehicles In order to get to the ravine trail, you will need to follow this path from the parking lot: Rockingham Loop (Blue), Governors Loop (Red) and the Ravine Trail (Orange). These trails will take you to the bottom of the ravine. It's here the trail ends, but connects with other trails. We recommend making a right at the bottom. It will allow you to follow a beautiful stream - which is perhaps the most beautiful area of the park. Allow yourself about 2 hours to complete this loop. If you want a complete travel guide and video of this location, please visit our website at www.joshthetravelguy.ca and www.youtube.com/joshthetravelguy respectively.

    This is my favorite park in Halifax, for many reasons!…read more Sentimental: I first enjoyed this park when, according to my dad, I was 1 year old. Ever-Changing: Over the years I have returned here and made new memories as I have watched the paths multiply and improve. The landscape evolves with the seasons, bringing new life, transitioning and regenerating. Very popular park, especially on weekend afternoons. Namaste.

We got on the trail at the Bike and Bean, obviously a favorite because the parking lot is full of cars with bike racks. Coming from highway 103 you drive right by the Superstore so you can pick-up a picnic lunch and extra water. The trail is on Google maps so you can find other trail heads and entry points. As you ride from Tantallon toward Boutilliers Point there are wonderful ocean views, the trail follows highway 103. It crosses a number of private driveways through Ingramport but it's wonderfully groomed with some very appreciated benches to take a break and enjoy the view. Five stars all the way and worth the trips from the city and I'll try the other end near Bayers Lake soon!

One time we shared a panini sandwich at the Bike & Bean Cafe on the St. Margaret's Bay Road which was really nice to do, to take a break from riding. We ate it outside where we could watch our bikes. The trail runs right beside the Bike & Bean. There used to be a big beaver lodge at another place along the trail and one day I actually saw the beaver swimming in the water near the lodge. I enjoy riding along this trail very much. Beautiful scenery, lakes, trees and bridges.
