Route Summary
Wolfville is also home to Acadia University which has been named Canada's top 5 universities for the past number of years. As you move out of wolfville on this route you will begin to cross the many dykes that supply the valley with water for crops. A bunch of views become available to you as you continue north. The minas basin also is home to some of the largest tides in the world and near port williams you can witness these tremendous tides in action as they fill and drain local rivers each day. 2) At you first resting point named "the lookoff" for obvious reasons you can see the tides in action from a birds eye view. On a clear day you can see ten's of miles down the mouth of the valley with it's sectioned dykes to it's different colored crop fields.
Roads: 7/10 Total: 7.5/10 Comment on the roads: Kings county is a fairly rich county due to the massive amount of crops that are grown here and a good amount tourism. Road works are common and upkeep helps keep the main roads smooth. Unfortunately this blade is double edged and the constant pounding of local tractors and trucks often leaves smaller less important roads in disrepair. Due to this keep a close eye for pot holes.

Just behind the look off is a local campground aptly named 
Cape Split is probably one of the more exciting trails that can be found in the region. Located at the end of the lane (don't worry there are signs). It is a good 5 hour hike round trip but the 16 km journey is well worth it. The trail is split into two and if you are a novice hiker I would suggest taking the northern (the right when it's splits) trail.
