In Falmouth, you can plan your trip around a range of interests: a trail around Lake Pesaquid, golf, heritage, and local places for wine and coffee. If you’re looking for a vacation rental, you can start by considering which of these interests will shape your stay. The named places and offerings provide specific points of reference—from the 2.4-kilometer trail to heritage designations with exact dates.

Lake Pesaquid and the Causeway Trail

The Causeway Trail runs around Lake Pesaquid and is 2.4 kilometers long. It includes gravel and paved sections. For planning your day, you can treat the 2.4-kilometer Causeway Trail as an activity in its own right; its surface is a mix of gravel and paved sections. If you plan to walk the trail, check current trail conditions in advance.

The trail connects Falmouth Mini Park, Windsor Waterside Park, Windsor Skatepark, and the Riverview Trail trailhead. Several named destinations are therefore linked by the trail, while its length and route around the lake provide their own points of reference. Falmouth Boat Launch is another, differently described access point on Lake Pesaquid: it is a freshwater boat launch on the lake, which is fed by the Avon River. Check current conditions at the launch before your visit.

Golf and Equipment

Avon Valley Golf and Country Club has an 18-hole golf course and offers golf carts, golf clubs, and pull carts for rent. With 18 holes, golf can be a focus of your trip; the club’s three rental options also give you more flexibility when planning your equipment. As the operator’s offerings may change, it’s best to check the availability of rental options before your visit.

Heritage in Falmouth

Sainte-Famille Cemetery was designated a provincial heritage property in September 2017 and a municipal heritage property in April 2019. Both dates refer to the same cemetery and distinguish the two designations by date and level of government. Sangster Inn was recognized as a property of provincial historical significance in 1991.

Winery and Coffee Roastery

Sainte-Famille Wines Ltd. is a winery in Falmouth, Nova Scotia. The vineyard is on a gently sloping hillside overlooking the Avon River valley. At Expedition Coffee Roasters, guests can have a cup of coffee at the roastery in Falmouth. A cup of coffee is mentioned for this visit; as visitor arrangements may change, it’s a good idea to check in advance whether a visit will work on your date.
