SaveDo you like your trees big and old? Then you’ve come to the right place. The Abraham Lake Nature Reserve features old-growth red spruce forest, a forest type now extremely rare in Nova Scotia. This 256-hectare (634-acre) reserve boasts trees measuring more than 30 metres tall and a metre in diameter. Huge eastern hemlocks, some more than 400 years old and among the oldest trees in Nova Scotia, are also found here.
The reserve also features other Acadian forest species, such as yellow birch, balsam fir, American beech, sugar maple and black spruce. The property and its surrounding area provide habitat for black bears, beavers, hawks and loons.
The reserve is owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada, which manages it jointly with the Province of Nova Scotia. Abraham Lake is a designated provincial nature reserve under Nova Scotia’s Special Places Protection Act.

Disclaimer:
The area is not accessible in winter.
The area is remote, and black bears may be present. Remember to make noise and make your presence known.
The forest was heavily impacted in the mid-2000s by a spruce beetle outbreak, an insect native to Nova Scotia that feeds on mature spruce trees and occasionally occurs in large numbers. As trees are weakened, branches break off and hang overhead, and trunks may lean. Hikers are advised to take precautions.
