The Blue Hill Coach Trail is the first completed segment of the planned Riverlake Greenway—a 50 km active transportation network connecting Dartmouth to the Trans Canada Trail. Located in Fall River, this 1.6 km trail follows the historic Blue Hill Road, once a key regional connector to the Shubenacadie Canal in the 1800s.
It provides a scenic and accessible path through a section of Acadian old-growth forest, offering residents a safe, sustainable alternative to car travel.
