Paddling near Halifax, Nova Scotia

Halifax sits at the centre of Halifax Regional Municipality, where the Atlantic coast, a working harbour, and a network of inland lakes and rivers converge. Paddlers here move between urban sea kayaking on Halifax Harbour (Kjipuktuk), flatwater canoeing and SUP on lakes like Long Lake and Lake Charles, and river paddling on the Musquodoboit and Shubenacadie rivers. The coastline around Lower Prospect and Peggy's Cove is widely regarded as some of the best sea kayaking in Canada.
