Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

At Lock 6 in Enfield, the public park combines forested walking trails with interpretive panels about the area's natural and cultural heritage. Snapping turtles are found in the wetlands along the Shubenacadie Canal Waterway at Lock 6 in Enfield. The Enfield Heritage Centre adds the community's history to these local themes; helicopter tours listed for 2026 offer another focus, with coastal routes. You can get to know Enfield through walks, local history, or a tour with a clearly named route.

Lock 6: Walking Trails, Panels and Wetlands

Lock 6 Park is a public park with forested walking trails. Its interpretive panels cover the area's natural and cultural heritage. Visitors can also enjoy a trail and boardwalk along the Shubenacadie Canal Waterway in Enfield. The panels give your visit a thematic focus; the walking trails and boardwalk offer a chance to get moving, while the wetlands are a habitat for snapping turtles. These different features offer several ways to enjoy a visit, without everyone having to focus on the same thing.

The park is not maintained in winter. Take this seasonal limitation into account when planning and check conditions before your visit. This will help you adapt your expectations for a visit to the park to the season.

A Glimpse into Enfield's History

The Enfield Heritage Centre is located in the E H Horne School Building in Enfield. It welcomes you to learn more about the Enfield community and its rich history. This gives it a different focus from the panels at Lock 6: the Centre focuses on Enfield's community and history, while the park panels cover the area's natural and cultural heritage. If you are especially interested in the community's history, you'll find a dedicated thematic focus here. Check the latest visitor information before your visit.

Helicopter Tours with Coastal Routes

Tourism Nova Scotia lists two tours by Vision Air Services in Enfield for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2026. The 1.5-hour Bay of Fundy helicopter tour flies over the coast of the Bay of Fundy, the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark, and Nova Scotia's wine region. The Peggy’s Cove Explorer Heli-Tour is also listed for this period as a coastal helicopter tour from Halifax to the Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse.

The two routes offer different points of reference: the Bay of Fundy tour names several areas and a specific duration, while the Peggy’s Cove Explorer has the lighthouse as its destination. If you are planning around the time required, you can factor in the stated 1.5-hour duration for the Bay of Fundy tour; for the Peggy’s Cove Explorer, the named coastal route provides the thematic focus. Check tour dates and availability before making specific plans.
