Maintenance Schedule - Summer 2026 

Starting Tuesday, May 26th, we will begin a schedule of maintenance closures at two-week intervals, occurring every other Tuesday, at Miner’s Marsh. This is to ensure that we can get into the space for mowing, trimming, and cleanup without disrupting trail users. They will occur every other Tuesday through to the end of August. The closures will be from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm. We appreciate everyone's cooperation with this matter as we work on caring for a community space!

Did you know that Miner’s Marsh is an excellent place to bird in Kentville? With over 100 species seen each year, it is the perfect place to discover the beauty of a wetland bird habitat. Enjoy info panels posted throughout the trails to learn more about the native environment and amazing species who live there! 

The Kentville Ducks Unlimited Site, known in town as “Miners Marsh”, is a stunningly beautiful area in a wetland habitat. It’s home to a variety and abundance of wildlife, and since the site is complete with viewing stands, picnic tables, and interpretive signage, it’s an ideal location for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.

This protected site includes 1.7 km of maintained trail built by the Town of Kentville in partnership with Nova Scotia Health Promotion and Protection, the Rotary Club of Kentville, and Michelin. Families, check out the Miners Marsh Trail Adventure! The games, information and activities are sure to transform your walk around the Marsh into an adventure!

You can access Miners Marsh from the Harvest Moon Trail at the intersection of the trail with Leverett Avenue (2 Klondyke Street), and from the parking area behind the Law Courts building on Bridge Street (81 Bridge Street).
