Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Park
Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Park is a scenic riverside park in Bridgetown that offers one of the best accessible fishing locations along the Annapolis River. Anglers can fish directly from the park's spacious easy access dock, with opportunities to catch Striped Bass, American Shad, and sea-run trout in the river's tidal waters.
In addition to its fishing opportunities, the park features a boat launch, kayak rentals, picnic areas, a playground, gardens, and plenty of green space overlooking the river. Whether you're casting a line, launching a kayak, or simply enjoying the waterfront views, Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Park is a great destination for both anglers and visitors exploring the Annapolis Valley.
