About The Keppoch

The area is well known for as a highland recreation area serving northeastern Nova Scotia with year‑round activities including hiking, biking, skiing fishing and hunting. The range is part of Nova Scotia’s mixed metamorphic and sedimentary uplands shaped by glacial action; soils and bedrock produce rolling ridges, wetlands and small headwater streams typical of the Northumberland Shore hinterland.
