Tall Ships Ahoy!
Cambridge is in the heart of what once was a bustling ship building industry. Thousands of sailing ships were launched from the various yards and slips that once dotted the local coastline. While for the most part this is an era that has come and gone, you can still experience the thrill of being under sail on a tall ship! An hour’s drive will take you to Halifax’s historic water front, where you can book a short sail on one of several tall ships including Nova Scotia’ sailing ambassador the Bluenose II. >> READ MORE
Whitewater Rafting
A thirty minute drive from Cambridge, in the lower reaches of the Shubenacadie River, the incoming tide battles the out flowing river creating a white water wonderland. The towering banks and the wide sweep of the Shubenacadie River provide an incredibly scenic back drop for this adventure. Two separate outfitters offer their services to help you experience the ride of your life.
• Shubenacadie River Adventure Tours Ltd.
• Shubenacadie River Runners Ltd.
River Tubing
Forty five minutes away in the community of White Rock, the Hydro station provides the basis for an afternoon of fun, tubing down the river on the surge of water released from the dam as power is generated. For a small fee, local entrepreneurs will rent you a large tube to take advantage of this local phenomenon.
Hiking
Invest a day and head over to Scott’s Bay to pick up the trail head for a hike out to the famous Cape Split. This trail will take you through the forest out to the high cliffs above the crashing ocean waves. Here the swirling tides of the Bay of Fundy meet the calmer waters of the Minas Basin and have created a unique landscape. The view is truly a life experience! >> READ MORE
