Overview
On the Shubenacadie Canal
Shubenacadie Grand Lake is a large, diverse lake straddling the Halifax Regional Municipality and Hants County, the biggest of the lakes on the historic Shubenacadie Canal — the 19th-century waterway that once linked Halifax Harbour to the Bay of Fundy.
It sits near Halifax Stanfield International Airport, with Oakfield and Laurie Provincial Parks and the restored Lock 5 along its shores.
