Tusket River

You'll truly be embracing Nova Scotia's southwesternmost coast while visiting the Tusket River. Filled with a dynamic system of lakes linked throughout the river, the Tusket offers a unique fishing combination of mostly Smallmouth Bass in its lower reaches, and Brook Trout in its headwaters. Plentiful access to nearby lakes, hiking trails and winding coastal roads makes the Tusket River worth the trip.
