Carleton/Kemptville

Carleton and Kemptville are inland villages. They have a calm pace, and are laced with trees and a cool breeze that drifts off their respective rivers. In the fall, rustling leaves can be heard and the changing of colours is a photographer’s dream. The villages are a popular spot for sport fishing, having many lakes and rivers to test your luck. Fished species include bass, pickerel, perch, and trout. Fishing licenses are available in the village country stores.

  • Freshwater Fishing: try your luck at fishing freshwater species in inland Nova Scotia. The season runs from April 1 through October.
  • Tobeatic Wilderness Area: canoe, hike or camp the largest protected wilderness area in the Maritimes. The Tobeatic protects remote and undisturbed wildlife habitat, expansive wetlands, pockets of old-growth pine and hemlock forest, and the headwaters of 9 major river systems flowing to both the Atlantic and Fundy coasts.
