Paddling near Truro, Nova Scotia

Truro sits at the head of Cobequid Bay in Colchester County, where several rivers converge before meeting the Bay of Fundy's tidal system. The Salmon River runs right through the city, and the Stewiacke River is close at hand, making whitewater and flatwater paddling genuinely local pursuits. The Shubenacadie River, a short drive away, is one of the region's marquee paddling destinations, known for its tidal bore conditions.
