About East Hants

The Corridor is located in the south-eastern portion of the Municipality. This region includes the communities of Enfield, Elmsdale, Lantz, Milford and Shubenacadie.

The Fundy Shore and Central region is driven by tides, tourism and breath-taking views. Communities in this area include Walton, Noel, Maitland, Kennetcook, Stanley and Gore.

Uniacke and Rawdon are home to many hiking trails and recreation opportunities along lakes, rivers and through towering forests.
