Rails to Trails
The Kentville Trail is 7km of maintained abandoned rail line that enables Town of Kentville residents and visitors to be active all year long by walking, running, biking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing!

Ravine Trail
The Ravine Trail winds past a small pond, a waterfall, and over many small streams. Hiking in Kentville provides the experience of being lost in nature among hemlock growth over 250 years old, but access to the trails is actually very close to the center of Town.
4X Trail
The new 4X bike track is a bike racing trail that combines elements of BMX racing with mountain biking. The tracks are fast, technical and extremely fun! The course for Kentville’s Burgher Hill was specially designed with riders of all ages and abilities in mind. The track includes features like bridges, a rock garden, rollers, berms and jumps. A raised start ramp helps riders get off to a fast start!
