Colby South's location at the less- populated end of beautiful Bissett Lake gives you nature at your doorsteps without being far from all the amenities and excitement of the Halifax Regional Municipality! From #28 Rockhaven, you can easily access all aspects of the Halifax Transit system: "park and ride" via the daily Halifax harbour ferry system within 10 -15 minutes; walk to regular city bus stops on nearby Astral Drive which accesses the express bus system to the entire municipality. Major highway access within 10 minutes via a convenient route using Hines Road which puts the work -commuter by vehicle in downtown Halifax with 25-40 minutes traffic dependent.
A great neighbourhood for school age children who can walk to school from pre-primary to Grade 9 at the Astral Drive family of schools which are about a 10 minute safe walk from #28. School buses service our high school and french language students who are picked up close to home within the neighbourhood.
Perfect for the active family, Cole Harbour is home to a major recreation centre with swimming pools, ice arenas, library and many community activities, as well as some of the best multi -use trail systems in the HRM: the nearby award- winning Salt Marsh trail. The trails in the Heritage Park are a great place to walk, run, or cycle with the family, and/or pets, or to immerse in nature next to the sea at a leisurely pace. The trails in the park are looping, and interconnected. Each of the various trails are more or less 1km in length. A fully detailed map is in the parking lot. You can spend as long as a day or as little as a half hour in the area if you like. Everything is well maintained, marked and mapped. There are plenty of signs to mark the trails, as well as lots of in-depth information on the area’s history. Friendly volunteer trail wardens often monitor the area.
Beach buffs can easily access within 15-30 minutes the iconic Nova Scotia beaches at Rainbow Haven, Conrad's Road, and Lawrencetown!
