Glooscap Trail

The Glooscap Trail is a scenic roadway in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.

[2][3] A spur of Glooscap Trail follows Trunk 2 in Truro, through the Shubenacadie Valley, to Enfield at the boundary with Halifax Regional Municipality.

The Fundy Shore segment branches off from the main route in Parrsboro and continues along the Minas Basin shore until reaching Advocate Harbour, where the route then follows the Chignecto Bay, outlining the Chignecto Peninsula.

According to a Mikmaq legend, Glooscap was a giant god-like man who was created by Gisoolg (the Great Spirit Creator) and lived on the high cliffs of Cape Blomidon, overlooking the Bay of Fundy.

Glooscap smashed the beaver's dam and allowed the water to flow freely, creating the Bay of Fundy tides.
