If you are inclined, you can do some rough hiking as well.<br /><br />The Bluff Wilderness Trail: http://www.wrweo.ca/BluffTrail/. There a tree routes you can take – Ive only ever done the easy one (which is about 10 K from your car in the parking lot and back). It is BEAUTIFUL. Quite tough in spots. Loads of swimming opportunities. Bring a snack. This is a weekend type of spot. Also off-leash. <br /><br />Shubie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shubie_Park I'm sure you know about this. This is off and on leash. Just follow the signs. Great trail and they have a dog beach too. Nice easy walking. Nice people too.<br /><br />Finally – my absolute Fav: http://www.halifax.ca/trails/SecondLakeRegionalParkAssociation.html Second Lake in Lower Sackville. You can hike in the woods (my fav) or stay on the well-maintained trail. It is off-leash as it is Provincial Crown Land. It is about 5K from entrance, around the loop and back to the exit on “the loop” but longer if you do the woods trails. The woods trails aren’t super well marked though, so make sure you are with someone who knows them the first couple of times through.<br /><br />Hope Hugo enjoys!<br />Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684305517129808778noreply@blogger.com
