Long Lake is the centrepiece of Long Lake Provincial Park, a 5000+ acre wilderness oasis that borders on the edge of Halifax’s urban core, only a ten-minute drive from downtown Halifax, and central to the entire city. Long Lake was the City of Halifax’s principal water supply from the mid-1800’s to the 1970’s and a result it has always been protected from adjacent development that could negatively affect its water quality. The result is a 3 km+ long lake on the edge of the city with absolutely pristine water and an uninterrupted, unaltered natural shoreline.

Halifax invented the donair, and in 2015 it became the only municipal food in Canada. This walking tour takes you from Grand Parade, laid out in 1749 between City Hall and St Paul's, downhill through the streets Haligonians actually eat in. Start with saltwater taffy from a Barrington Street candy shop, then a donair poutine at a downtown institution known as much for its warren of rooms as its cooking, spiced beef and sweet garlic sauce over fries in one forkful. Down at the water, sit inside a stone warehouse built for privateers and running as a pub since 1974: a cup of seafood chowder, then deep-fried pepperoni with honey mustard, the snack locals order without thinking twice. One stop we do not name in advance, a surprise every time. Finish at a waterfront chocolate maker for a tasting, hot chocolate in the cooler months. Your Secret Food Tours guide lives here and settles the argument over who makes the best donair in town.

Hosting the headwaters of Nova Scotia’s two finest rivers, the Medway Lakes Wilderness Area boasts small ancient lakes, sandy summertime beaches tucked in quiet coves and pine and hemlock sheltered campsites. I don't want to shower you with superlatives and risk this sounding exaggerated and/or cheesy (maybe I already transgressed above) but there really is something special about this paddling region. The lakes are generally small and studded with scruggy (yep, I made that word up) little islands and there just seems to be more beaches than any other place we offer tours. I try not to make much fuss about the wildlife because it’s just not something we can guarantee on a trip, but every night we listened to coyotes singing or owls hooting or beavers splashing about. This trip strikes a fine balance between rugged adventure and relaxing bliss.
