Gully Lake

An enjoyable 12km hike in the heart of a beautiful wilderness area. One of the only places on the mainland you can hike all day and not hear a single sound of civilization. This trail is the longest route of the Cobequid Eco-Trails system and well worth the challenge. Another backcountry hike, make sure to bring sturdy footwear to prevent wet feet and twisted ankles. There are a few small falls along the way to stop and enjoy, even taking a dip if the mood strikes! Submitted by: @betterlftunsaid
