Porters Lake Provincial Park is located just minutes from metropolitan Halifax/Dartmouth. This park is the perfect escape from the city but close enough for day trips to visit the many attractions in the area. Porters Lake offers a quiet lakeside setting with a wide variety of outdoor activities including camping, hiking, picnicking, boating, canoeing, water skiing, and freshwater lake fishing.
Halifax is in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. The people of the Mi’kmaw Nation have lived on this territory for millennia, and we acknowledge them as the past, present and future caretakers of this land. Historically, a land acknowledgment is a traditional practice shared amongst Indigenous groups to recognize the Indigenous land and territory they are visiting. Today a land acknowledgement remains a way to express one’s gratitude to the Indigenous people for being stewards of the land that we live and work on.
