Murphy Lake (Mount Uniacke Lake)

Fall
Spring
Summer

A short 20 minute drive from Lower Sackville will take you to Murphy Lake, which offers a barrier free fishing site kindly sponsored by its neighbouring Mount Uniacke Fire Hall. Here, you can fish an established population of Smallmouth Bass, as well as Brook Trout that are stocked regularly by the province. Murphy Lake borders Mt. Uniacke Provincial Park, where there are walking trails and a playground for your use. Access the lake via the shore, dock, and/or public boat launch. Plenty of space for parking.
