Additional Information

Paddle for 90 minutes at Long Lake Provincial Park. At the heart of Long Lake Provincial Park lies Long Lake, an expansive 5000+ acre natural haven skirting the periphery of Halifax’s city life, a brief ten-minute journey from the downtown core of Halifax and conveniently accessible to the city at large. Historically, Long Lake served as the City of Halifax’s primary water reservoir from the mid-19th century until the 1970s, enjoying a legacy of preservation from surrounding development that could compromise its water clarity. The outcome is an over 3 km expanse of lake fringing the city, boasting water of unmatched purity and a coast that remains natural and undisturbed. Long Lake is an ideal destination to spend a good portion of the day paddling across its waters, discovering the various coves, dual islets, and the ancient dam that gave the lake its present contour two hundred years prior.

5 STARS!! - We had a great time and cant wait to go back! The staff are all super kind, the lake is stunning, the kayaks were easy to use - was a great summer day! I took my 6 year old daughter on an adult single kayak was soo fun! Then after we paddled back we stayed and swam off the rocks right beside the rental stand... the water is really clear and super warm! A perfect day - many thanks Long Lake Adventure Co!

Enjoy the outdoors - Great kayaking & SUP available - If you like the outdoors, this is a great spot - and this company is the best. You can book online, sign the waiver, show up and go. All equipment is good and cleaned between clients so I felt totally comfortable. I did kayaking and SUP - loved both. If this weather keeps up, I will be back as much as I can.

My Happy Place - Summer 2019 was my first ever time in a kayak , extremely nervous I had the best time! Unfortunately was only able to make it out once so this year I had been waiting for the go ahead . Saturday my boyfriend and I went out for our first kayak of the season, and can't wait to go back ! The girls are incredibly helpful and friendly 😊 I had made a mistake and booked on the wrong day messaged them they fixed it in a second and I was able to go the time I had wanted . Great equipment and a very inviting space . Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a great

Love everything about this place!! - This place is absolutely beautiful! The lake is perfect, the young ladies that are running this business are so lovely and wonderful to deal with, the price is right, etc!! I go here multiple times a week for either kayaking or stand up paddle boarding and have never once had a bad experience. I bring people with me to see how lovely and serene it is, I often go solo because it is so peaceful... and I ALWAYS recommend this place to everyone!! Get out there and enjoy it!!!

Wonderful locally owned company! - We rented 3 adult single kayaks for an hour and had a blast paddling around the well marked open water swimming course - 2500m around Goat Island. It's totally flexible to go for as long or short as you wish. Life jackets, paddles and sit on top kayaks are all in excellent condition. We had not booked ahead but had no problem getting boats and a parking space for our 9:30am start. The process to get out on the water was super efficient. I really appreciated being able to keep my phone and car keys in the office/hut. The girls working there are extremely pleasant and professional. Can't wait to try SUP next time...

Kayaking Long Lake - This experience was not a good one. We rented the Kayaks for two hours and had to head back to shore after twenty minutes due to not having any back support. The seats do not stay adjusted, therefore loose support in a short time. It was a complete waste of money for two of the five people as a result of this problem. All five of us agreed we would never do this again. This company needs to invest in better equipment.
