Macintosh Run Trail is a 3.3 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Herring Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada that features a lake and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
The short lakeside trail is one of a number of trails located within the land known as the Purcell's Cove Backlands. McIntosh Run trail stretches along rivers, ponds, and marshland connecting a number of surrounding subdivisions. The trail offers opportunities to bike, walk, and run, as well as snowshoe and cross country ski in the summer. Part of the trail remains undeveloped, where the pathway morphs from smooth gravel to rocky woodland pathway, heading towards Roach's Pond.
Parking: Best parking is at the large community parking lot at the trailhead off of Herring Cove Road. Bus routes leading to this trail are the 9 and 14. The 9 will take you right beside the trailhead on Herring Cove Road.

December 11, 2020November 30, 2020November 13, 2020Wish I could say I enjoyed this trail more,but the truth is it's more of a gravel path through or near residential subdivisions,some of which are new construction and rather noisy as you travel the nearby path. Great river views though and the very easy flat path allowed me to go a a brisk pace .
November 11, 2020Super different experience with the rocks :)
November 8, 2020This is more of a walking trail than a hike, lovely river views, gravel the whole way, quite busy.
