The Glooscap Trail is a scenic roadway in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
It is located in the central and northern part of the province around the Minas Basin and Cobequid Bay, sub-basins of the Bay of Fundy. The route connects Amherst in Cumberland County, near the interprovincial boundary with New Brunswick, with Scot's Bay in Kings County, Nova Scotia.[2][3] A spur of Glooscap Trail follows Trunk 2 in Truro, through the Shubenacadie Valley, to Enfield at the boundary with Halifax Regional Municipality. The Fundy Shore segment branches off from the main route in Parrsboro and continues along the Minas Basin shore until reaching Advocate Harbour, where the route then follows the Chignecto Bay, outlining the Chignecto Peninsula.[2]
The main route measures 357 km (222 mi), with the Shubenacadie Valley spur being 59 km (37 mi). Additionally, the Fundy Shore segment is 119 km (74 mi) long.
