A low-slung morning mist lifts off glassy water as your double kayak slips from the shoreline. Long Lake opens like a private channel into the city’s wild edge—three kilometres of clear water, tight inlets, two small islands and the old timber-and-stone dam that shaped the lake two centuries ago.

Long Lake served as Halifax’s principal water supply from the mid‑1800s to the 1970s; its protected status helped preserve the natural shoreline you paddle today.
The lake’s value comes from restricted shoreline development—minimize impact by staying on water, packing out waste, and avoiding sensitive shore vegetation and nesting areas.
Long Lake Adventure Company operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
