Nichols Lake

Highlight • Lake

Nichols Lake is a serene and beautiful spot not far from Halifax. Listen out for the sounds of ospreys above and keep your eyes peeled for the common garter snake sunning itself on the rocks.

Highlight • Waterfall

Nichols Falls is perhaps the most scenic part of Nichols Lake's trails. More of a cascade than a thundering waterfall, it's a picturesque and peaceful place to visit.
