Long Lake Provincial Park (Nova Scotia)
- Long Lake Provincial Park (Nova Scotia)
Long Lake Provincial Park is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was established in 1980.
Long Lake is a provincial park and controlled by the Nova Scotia Government. For many years however, the park has not had a management plan and so is relatively unknown as a public space. Recently the Department Natural Resources entered into consultation with the Long Lake Provincial Park Association and a management plan is being developed.
Long Lake Provincial Park is bordered by the Old Sambro Road, Northwest Arm Drive and the Prospect Road. It can be viewed from the Northwest Arm Drive as it enters Spryfield.
Long Lake Provincial Park is home to "Wrandees" a network of singletrack mountain bike trails that is legendary for its extreme terrain. The trails are a series of loops (approximately 6 miles of trail) that can be ridden a number of ways. Most trails are unmarked.
Like other parks in Halifax, it suffered extensive tree-loss as a result of Hurricane Juan on September 29 2003.
