Keppoch Gulch

Keppoch Gulch

Keppoch Gulch reflects the rugged interior topography of Pictou County, where brooks often cut sharply into the uplands, creating dramatic micro‑landscapes hidden within the forest. One of the defining landscape features associated with the Keppoch, it is a steep, narrow ravine carved by centuries of flowing water. It features large moss‑covered boulders, steep, shaded slopes, seasonal waterfalls and cascades in Keppoch Brook that flows through dense spruce, fir and hardwood forests.

Indian Lake

Indian Lake

Indian Lake is a quiet forest‑lined rural Woodland Area characterized by forests and natural vegetation located south of Marshy Hope. The region is lightly settled with scattered homes, camps, and properties, road‑accessible, and shaped by the long history of forestry, homesteading, and inland travel routes that define much of central Pictou County. Twinning of the Trans Canada Highway in 2024 diverted part of the the original highway configuration to avoid the Marshy Hope area and now passes through part of Indian Lake.
