Welcome to the Region of Lunenburg
 

“Take the Time”...Here, nature's canvas is particularly vibrant. The beauty of the area is fresh – the crispness of the air, the fragrance of the forests, the crash of the waves. Appreciate the serenity of seeing wildlife in its natural habitat. French, English, German and Dutch heritage influences everything from home grown food and local wines to art, artisans and architecture, not to mention the individuality of the people. Forest trails and pristine beaches beckon. Challenge yourself hiking, canoeing or sailing. Take a deep breath and stay awhile.
