Wickwire Park, Milford Nova Scotia

The launch. Back in 1986 when I paddled from Grand Lake to Milford, this area did not exist. It was either farmland or owned by the mine.

Historical information as to how the river was part of the Shubenacadie canal system

The path from the car park. 

The park is one of two along the river in East Hants. The river is the border between East Hants and Halifax Regional Municipality. 

As the area is becoming more built up on the Enfield-Lantz-Elmsdale corridor, it's nice to see this area kept. The front of the park also has a corn field being used to promote sustainability in the agricultural sector.

I'd like to be able to canoe down this river again.
