Welcome
Cornwallis River Greenway is a 6 km section of active-transportation trail managed by the Cornwallis River Pathways Society (CRPS). The trail runs through Coldbrook and Cambridge, Nova Scotia, along the old Dominion Atlantic Railway corridor. Although it passes close to several residential areas it offers access to scenic areas with opportunities to see a variety of wildlife.
Except for seasonal snowmobile use, off-highway vehicles are prohibited. Full details of acceptable uses are provided on the "Trail Use" page.
At its eastern end, the greenway connects to the 7 km Kentville Trail, a completely non-motorized active-transportation trail. To the west, once Sharpe Brook Bridge has been crossed, the trail is managed by Kings County Trail Society as a motorized trail where walkers and cyclists can expect to meet ATVs and trail bikes.
Caution

The NS Department of Highways are doing maintenance work on the Hwy. 101 overpass which crosses the Greenway. Work will probably continue for several weeks and during this time you might see vehicles travelling between Scotian Gold and the overpass. The Greenway will remain open but caution is advised in the work area.

A new rest area is almost finished at the pond near the Hwy. 101 overpass. We have built steps leading down to the pond and a bench will be installed within the next few days. This is an attractive location and a great spot to look for turtles and goldfish!
