About Liscomb-Belleisle Provincial Park

 

Liscomb-Belleisle Provincial Park is located on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada, encompassing a stretch of rugged coastline along the Atlantic Ocean and forested inland terrain. The park features diverse habitats including coastal headlands, mixed Acadian forests, and wetlands, supporting a variety of wildlife such as seabirds, deer, and small mammals. Historically, the region has ties to Mi’kmaq culture and later European settlers who used the area for fishing and forestry. Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to the park for its hiking trails that offer ocean vistas, its campsites with easy access to the shoreline, and opportunities for kayaking and birdwatching. The park’s rocky beaches and tide pools provide an engaging coastal experience, while inland trails pass through dense forests with seasonal wildflowers and fall foliage. Liscomb-Belleisle is valued for its combination of accessible recreational options and relatively undeveloped natural setting, making it a popular spot for day trips and overnight camping. Its location along scenic coastal routes also makes it a notable stop for travelers exploring Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore. The park maintains a quiet, relaxed atmosphere that appeals to families, anglers, and nature photographers. Visitors can find both primitive campsites and basic facilities, with proximity to nearby communities offering additional amenities.
