Waverley–Salmon River Long Lake Wilderness Area

This 8,710-hectare protected area features granite hills, lakes, rivers, and forests with jack pine, red pine, white pine, and hemlock trees.

The Province of Nova Scotia designated this land as the Waverley Game Sanctuary in 1929, making it the third-oldest game sanctuary in the region.

The Crowbar Lake Trail system extends through 15 kilometers of wilderness, enabling visitors to explore natural landscapes and native flora.

Access points for canoeing and hiking activities are available from Lake Major, Aerotech Drive, and Salmon River Road throughout the year.

The northern section transitions from granite to quartzite bedrock, creating distinct landscapes with coniferous forests, bogs, and slow-moving water channels.
