Recreation

From hiking the scenic landscape alongside the world's highest tides, to swimming in the warmest ocean water in Canada to organised sports, Cumberland County is home to a wide range of recreational opportunities. People of all ages can go out and explore the shoreline, terrain, lakes, and sports fields of the great outdoors.

They can also enjoy their favourite activities indoors, at one of our many local facilities.
