Brier and Long Islands

Travel Guide

Balancing rock, Nova Scotia, Canada
Balancing rock, Nova Scotia, Canada
After leaving Digby, NS, driving 40 minutes, surviving the sharp turns, and taking two ferries you will discover Brier Island. This island is small, but packed with great hiking and rock jumping. Not many tourists or Nova Soctians make their way out to the island, and that's a shame because it is worth the trip.
There are many fascinating hikes and sights in Nova Scotia, Canada but the Balancing Rock on Long Island is one you won't forget.
