Nature Trail Adventures in Kings County

Our family is always up for an adventure!

So, when we heard about the new Nature Trail Adventures designed by Marina Myra of the Wild Roots Nature Education Centre in Berwick and now part of Flying Squirrel Adventures in the Kentville area we knew we had to try it out!

These are games and activities that take you through a nature area to solve clues to solve a mystery.

Much like our TrailQuest games that help you explore towns, these games help you explore nature in a fun, new way.

There are 5 Nature Trail Adventures that are FREE to download!

Equipment Needed

On the first page of the Nature Trail Adventure guide, there is a list of what equipment you will take with you to help explore the area. Some of it is optional, but trust us, you will want the full experience!

The items are not complex, and are things you have at home. Some, like Miners’ Marsh, includes instructions to make view finders to make before you go.

Our Adventure

We checked out the McMaster Mill Park Adventure near Greenwood.

This trail is about 0.5km and would have taken us under 10 minutes, normally to check out. But, instead, we spent over an hour discovering this beautiful spot.

We played First Nations games, built boats, and learned about the rocks and falls, while traveling through time to discover the secret clues.

We also had a ride on a seismosaurus.

Grade Level

Thomas and I completed the mystery and activities together. He loved every second of it! We think, then, the ideal grade level is grades 2-5. A parent will need to help with the reading and instructions.

It makes for the perfect family activity!
