Road Trip into eastern coast of Canada/Nova Scotia

[JoeFahey]

I'm roadtripping into Canada from New York with some friends for our Spring Break. We have a week and don't want to go over 1500 miles round trip. I saw that Nova Scotia would be within our limits, and it might be a cool ride if we stick to the coast. I haven't really scoped out any parks or cool stops along the way yet, but does anyone have suggestions?

I woudn't do it this time of the year, because they aren't clear of the snowing season yet.

Make sure to hit Bar Harbor, ME and Acadia National Park.

St John Nova Scotia is ~1700mi roundtrip. You sure you want to do that in a week?

That's almost 250mi a day just driving.


Ferry from Portland could be an option. 5.5Hr ferry ride from Portland to Yarmouth NS

Your link is out of date, there is no more ferry service between Portland and Yarmouth.

oh well, went to the main page of the site and it mentioned ferry cancelled... you would think they'll fix everything.

Thanks for the advice guys. We decided to just go another time of the year and hit up Montreal for a night instead.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Going to take the train though. Might fly Porter though. What's there to see in Halifax?
