 Relax
and enjoy the solitude of camping in the pristine wilderness of Yarmouth
County. Our rivers and lakes are second to none in Nova Scotia. Whether
you travel by canoe or kayak, a soft adventure awaits you on Quinan Lake
or the Tusket River, a peaceful reprieve from the hectic city pace.Eco-tourism
at its best, Spring-Haven Canoe Outfitting can provide you with an adventure
you won't soon forget. Camp out in an authentic Tipi. Experience the magic
and wonder of the Mi'kmaq culture first hand. Enjoy authentic wilderness
cuisine prepared for you by your friendly French Acadian guide Larry Muise. |
Imagine
the deep blue and burgundy colors of the sky after the sun has set beyond
the horizon, the silhouette of a majestic old growth Acadian forest that surrounds
you. The crackling of a camp fire as the embers float up to the heavens and
mingling with the star filled sky. The pale creamy band of stars that make
up the milkyway stretching from horizon to horizon, interrupted only by the
odd meteor streaking across the heavens. The cry of the great Northern Loon
echoes around the lake, the haunting calls of the eastern coyote and the hooting
of one of the many species of owl that inhabit the Tusket River Valley.In
the background, a majestic canvas tipi, eighteen feet across and twenty two
feet in height adorned with paintings of native species of animals and birds.
Inside is spacious and inviting. A fire pit adorns the center making this
a comfortable shelter even in the colder months of the year. Sleep peacefully
to the sound of the waves lapping at the lake shore and awake to the smell
of fresh brewed coffee and a delicious breakfast prepared over an open campfire. |
If
wilderness camping is not in your plans, daytrips to the local beaches
using our open deck sit on top kayaks to surf the waves is another great
vacation activity. Or a short excursion on one of the many rivers or
lakes with a picnic lunch provided. How about a interpretive hike in
a semi wilderness garden. A perfect way to unwind and relieve the stress
of everyday life.
