Experience The Nova Scotia Four Corners Tour
Background
I have been an avid motorcyclist for about fifty years. Over the years I've toured through Canada, most of the United States, several European countries and several countries and territories in The Caribbean. I enjoy long distance riding and am a member of The Iron Butt Association.
Since moving to Nova Scotia a number of years ago I have been a Road Captain with The Central Nova Scotia HOG Chapter. Leading groups to destinations within the province made me want to do more. A while ago I learned about The Maine Four Corners Experience, and in 2022 I found out about, and completed the New Brunswick Four Corners Tour. I found it to be an interesting way to see the province. Since Nova Scotia did not have such a tour I decided to develop one.
The Tour
The tour will take you to the North, South, East, and West corners of Nova Scotia. You can plan your own route. You may decide to complete all four corners over a weekend, or choose a more leisurely pace and complete it in four separate rides over a few months. However, you must complete all four corners in one riding season.
The Four Corners Tour is open to all types of motorcycles. So if you are riding on two wheels or three you are eligible to participate in the tour.
Our Province
In Nova Scotia you will find traffic free back roads with ocean and mountain views. Our tour will give you the opportunity to experience Nova Scotia: to ride the Cabot Trail, to camp in a National Park, to go whale watching, and to explore hiking trails. One of our destinations, The Fortress of Louisbourg, is a National Historic Site. This tour offers you an excellent opportunity to visit this piece of history. Our Links page lists things to see and do while you are visiting.
on The Tour you'll visit the following landmarks.
