 The Glooscap Trail - Nature's Jewel Box -
follows the spectacular shore of the Minas Basin, whose nutrient-rich
waters create an ecological diversity making it one of North America's
great natural treasures. Explore pristine beaches where agates and
sparkling amethysts are the gifts of the waves. Hike a forest trail to
a cascading waterfall, enjoy a spectacular view from seacliffs, see
eagles and osprey soar, watch moose graze and witness the migration of
thousands of shorebirds.
 Ancient legends of the Mi'kmaq tell of the mighty Glooscap
who created Five Islands and
controlled the great tides with
magic. Come explore this special
place where the majestic power
of the world's highest tides
have shaped a landscape of unforgettable
splendor. Walk on the ocean
floor at low tide, or experience
the thrill of whitewater rafting
upriver on the tidal bore.
