Greenfield lies on the banks of the Medway River. The Greenfield Walking Track offers a specific local point of interest: an easy, gravel loop trail. The area also has a history connected with the Mi’kmaq and an annual supper. Greenfield has its own trails and places of remembrance; Queens County offers further nature and cultural themes.

River and trails in Greenfield

The Greenfield Walking Track is an easy gravel trail that forms a loop. Those looking for a clearly described loop on a walk will find one on this track. Access is directly beside a paved parking lot. Since access arrangements can change, check current access information before your visit.

Greenfield Community Park also has a walking trail. Together with the Walking Track, it offers another local point of interest for anyone wanting to include Greenfield’s trails in their travel plans. The roads provide an additional point of reference: Greenfield is on Highway 210, which intersects with Highway 8 and Highway 325.

History and events

Greenfield’s history includes its role as the Mi’kmaq’s first fishing and hunting ground. A veterans’ monument stands in Greenfield Veterans Memorial Park. These two themes give a visit a historical and commemorative dimension without overshadowing the landscape along the Medway River.

The Planked Salmon Supper takes place annually in Greenfield. If you want to plan your trip around the supper, check current event dates; details may change. This lets you include the annual event in your plans without relying on a specific date.
