Fort Edward Walking Trail in Windsor NS

 
Nestled up beside the Fort Edward Blockhouse in Windsor, NS is a great trail to check out. 

Known as the Fort Edward Trail, or labeled as the Canada Remembers Trail, it’s a 1km, 15 min walk that circles the fort. 

The terrain is crushed gravel, making it accessible and perfect for toddlers and strollers. 

Because the trail goes around the contour of the fort, there are frequent changes in elevation, but still an easy stroll.

Take time to stop by Fort Edward to learn about the history. 

Built in 1750, Fort Edward provided an important British stronghold during decades of discord with Acadian settlers and the Mi’kmaq people. 

There is no admission fee, and there are lots of information panels around the fort in-season. 

The trail starts to the left of the wooden stairs, or on the far right of the parking lot. 

Location

The grounds of Fort Edward are accessible year-round (no winter maintenance), and the blockhouse itself is open from June 25 to Labour day, Tuesday through Saturday.
