Welcome to the Dark Side.
Growing up, I spent more of my time on the Dartmouth side. My grandparents lived close to MicMac Mall (which used to be my favourite because of the Disney Store and Toys R' Us, haha!) and we never ventured over to the Halifax side... like ever! There was just no reason for us to go to Halifax. So, I have always had a special place in my heart for the Dartmouth side aka. 'The Dark Side' and the few people that I have talked to who live there seem to rave about it and think that it has a bad rep!
Mariah and Jonathan are two of those people who love Dartmouth! They live a 2 minute walk away from this trail (it's practically their backyard) and have spent a lot of their relationship walking along the waterside, holding hands and making plans (so I assume). They talked about how this was their haven during the height of Covid - a place where they could take in the fresh air and feel some normalcy in a time that we all hope never repeats itself.
This was my first time at this trail and I was blown away! It is STUNNING! You get to enjoy the beauty that Dartmouth offers that many overlook while also getting to take in the beauty of the Halifax Waterfront! Like, what more could you ask for?!
This spot has now entered my top 10 favourite locations for sessions in the city!
