Bear River, Nova Scotia
The Bear River rises and falls more than 20 feet with each tide
change, pushed upstream by the Bay of Fundy influence. Nestled into
a glacial valley four miles upriver from the Annapolis Basin, the
historic settlement of Bear River – nicknamed the “Village on
Stilts” - straddles the river and harnesses some of the water power
for electricity.
This eclectic community is a traditional home to
the Mi’Kmaq peoples and now boasts the largest artistic community in
Nova Scotia. The unique topography of this settlement also hosts the
newest winery in the province and the largest collection of
vineyards on the Fundy Coast.
