Queens County is on the southwestern coast of Nova Scotia and is a 1-1/2 hour drive from Halifax and Yarmouth via Highway 103.
Ours is the best of two worlds: old, well established, yet growing communities; and large areas of unspoiled countryside with white sand beaches, lakes, whitewater rivers and forests with unsurpassed beauty.
Queens County offers outstanding outdoor recreation opportunities. Nearly ¼ of the County is fresh water, the rest is attractive forest with abundant wildlife.
Over 150 km of seacoast boasts many fine white sand beaches, ocean parks and a major oceanfront resort complex and convention centre.
Some of the best of the County's lakes, rivers, forests, and coastline are preserved in the two areas that constitute Kejimkujik National Park & and Kejimkujik Seaside.
Swimming, fishing, hunting, hiking, canoeing and camping are available everywhere in the County. Surfing and ocean kayaking are coastal specialties. In winter, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are popular outdoor activities.
There is always something to see or do in our area, come and escape from the usual!
