I consider myself fortunate to have access to NatureNS and great people like Dusan, David, et. al. Thanks for the suggestions.
The best walk I've found since I moved here is along the Avonport dyke on the edge of the Minas Basin along the Gaspereau river estuary, which to me is absolutely a sublimely beautiful part of the world.
Peace to all,
Jamie

Hi Jamie, all others:
An excellent reference is the provincial government trails database http://www.trails.gov.ns.ca/ . Just click on "shared-use trails" and the part of the province you are interested in. (The "shared-use" trail category designation is a little misleading, as it includes pedestrian-only trails in the protected wilderness areas.) Then click on the various hiker figurines on the master map to link you to a map and a written description of each trail. Unfortunately, there is no index and no way to search the site if you know the trail's name, e.g. Kenomee Canyon Trail.
Michael Haynes' "Walking Trails of Nova Scotia" (8th edition, 2002, Goose Lane Publishers) is also very useful. Here the trails are listed according to each tourist region, e.g. Evangeline Trail, Glooscap Trail. Earlier editions of Haynes' classic guidebook contain a different selection of trails.
Of course, the vast majority of hiking trails in Nova Scotia are unofficial, undocumented, and often unmaintained. Happy hiking!

Do you know of any resource that could provide my wife and I information on local hiking trails in the Hantsport Minas Basin/north Annapolis Valley/SOuth Mountain area? I'm particularly interested in exploring the Gaspereau River/Black River Lake area.
Thanks
JS
