In Little Brook, local roller skating history and art meet an important access point on the Sentier de Clare Trail. You can tailor your trip to different interests: historic cultural sites, a trail through forests and across rivers, or the additional attractions in the wider destination of Digby County.
Roller Skating History and Sainte-Marie Church
Little Brook Parish Hall originally served as the community hall for the Sainte-Marie (Church Point) parish. Performances and roller skating were held in the building. The first Rollercade by the Little Brook Roller Skating Club featured six performances over five days, with sixteen numbers in each performance. Alongside its former community role, this offers a specific glimpse into local entertainment.
Nearby in Church Point is Sainte-Marie Church. It is a living museum with two exhibit rooms displaying historical artifacts and relics, as well as information panels about the parish and the church. It is also recognized as the largest wooden church in North America. Visits are scheduled from mid-May to mid-September; outside this period, an appointment is required. Confirm before your trip whether this access arrangement is still in effect.
Sentier de Clare Trail and Seasonal Attractions
The Sentier de Clare Trail is 42.4 kilometres long and runs from Weymouth to the boundary of Yarmouth County. An important access point is at Little Brook Station in Little Brook. The route passes through forests, crosses rivers and shares information about the region’s Acadian heritage through information panels. The trail is listed as open year-round. As the information panels may change, check current conditions before setting out.
Pottery & Art in Little Brook features works in clay, paintings and prints. The listed season runs from June 1 to December 30. Check current offerings and hours before visiting. Little Brook Public Market is also a historic stop: a report from December 2025 stated that the market opened on November 29 in the building formerly used by Seabreeze Bowling Alley. Check whether the market is currently operating before travelling there.
