Long Lake Provincial Park (Nova Scotia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Long Lake Provincial Park is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was established in 1980.

Long Lake is a provincial park and controlled by the Nova Scotia Government. For many years however, the park has not had a management plan and so is relatively unknown as a public space. Recently the Department Natural Resources entered into consultation with the Long Lake Provincial Park Association and a management plan is being developed.

Long Lake Provincial Park is bordered by the Old Sambro Road, Northwest Arm Drive and the Prospect Road. It can be viewed from the Northwest Arm Drive as it enters Spryfield.

The park is popular among local dog owners, hikers, and off-road vehicle drivers.

Like other parks in Halifax, it suffered extensive tree-loss as a result of Hurricane Juan on September 29, 2003.
