Why choose a trail at Morris Lake?

Morris Lake is a long shallow lake in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality bordering the communities of Dartmouth, Shearwater and Cole Harbour. The lake is bounded by Shearwater and Portland Estates on the west, Cole Harbour on the east and south, and Portland Hills on the north. The shoreline is mostly developed on the northwest end. The Imperial Oil Refinery on the shore of Halifax Harbour draws water from the lake for cooling. CFB Shearwater also uses a portion of the lake for helicopter practice manoeuvres and it also maintains a small recreational beach.

The Morris Lake is a beautiful, serene lake located in the heart of Nova Scotia. The lake is surrounded by lush forest and rolling hills, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The water is crystal clear and the perfect temperature for swimming, making it a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. There are several small islands located in the middle of the lake, which make for a great spot to sunbathe or take a picnic lunch. The Morris Lake is a wonderful place to spend a summer day, and is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
