Ski Martock, Nova Scotia's destination not only for skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing but off-winter events at the OnTree Fun & Adventure Park. Nova Scotia's first high rope course climbing and zip lining park offers excitement and physical challenges for people of all ages and ability and is located on Ski Martock Road. The courses are situated in heights between 1 and 20 meters from the ground and include a 350-foot zip line, a bicycle on a wire, tarzan ropes, spider webs and a SO-foot base jump. Experienced or not, there are challenges for everyone at the park. Smileys Provincial Park in Brooklyn, is a quiet campground which is a pleasant mix of wooded and open areas beside the Meander River. Campsites are nestled into a mix of forest and farmland habitats. The Park provides a magnificent backdrop for campers, picnickers, lovers of nature and those who just want to relax and explore the best of everything.
Here,friends and neighbours are as close as family, and you need only go next door to find someone to offer an opinion or share a laugh with. Neighbourhoods stretch for miles yet come together in times of need, while friendships span generations. Listen carefully and you can hear the generations who came before us whispering their wisdom through the winds rushing over the mud flats. They tell us stories of Sangster, Fort Edward, Five Mile Plains, Dimock House, and All Saints. The picturesque community ofHantsport is a true treasure for visitors to explore. The community, which, in the late 1800s was the 5th most important shipbuilding town in the world, is also the home of the Churchill House (The Cedars). Tucked amoung 18 acres of beautiful grounds the Victorian home is now the community's recreation centre. Much of the house remains as it once did with exquisitely decorated moldings, original flooring and leather wallpaper. The "Marine Room" (once the children's nursery- with original depictions of nursery rhymes still intact today) is dedicated to Hantsport's ship building era.
