Wentworth Provincial Park was my first stop inside Nova Scotia, and a true oasis for me after running the gauntlet at the NB/NS border where they were screening for covid and demanded a vax certification before proceeding. Looking more like a highway rest stop, a la QC-style where you can see the activity from the highway as it sprawls along a mostly open space not far from traffic, Wentworth is considered a provincial park here in NS. I stopped and got out and went for a stroll as soon as I pulled in. There's a long dirt road that runs parallel to the highway to walk which ends at a creek entrance with a bridge to cross by foot. To clarify the intended use, here's a quote from their site: "Wentworth Provincial Park is a very popular day use picnic park with scenic views situated in Wentworth (Highway 4) in the Northumberland Shore region. The park is a popular area for bird watchers and offers wooded and open areas with a small meandering river and trails connecting to the Cobequid Mountain trails. Group use is available. Flush toilets." For me it was a nice rest stop and beer break before hitting the road on the way to Hantsport, Nova Scotia. Couldn't ask for a better and more restful stop! read more
