Pinehurst is a small village along the LaHave River between New
Germany and Wentzell's Lake. It is a stopping place on Trunk 10,
which runs from Bridgewater
to Middleton.
Most people from this village seek work in Middleton, New Germany,
Bridgewater, Halifax
and any other major towns in the South Shore Region. The Pinehurst
area is part of the Lunenburg County Christmas Tree Growers'
Association with many private growers who are very busy from mid
November to mid December harvesting trees for export and also for
private sale. Many of the growers even allow people to go into the
"lots" and pick and cut their own trees.
The Lahave River, running through Pinehurst from New Germany Lake to
Wentzell's Lake, is a favourite fishing spot for most anglers,
boasting some of the best salmon fishing in Lunenburg County, and
during high water levels can make for some very exciting canoeing
and kayaking adventures. During summer and autumn a small field
along the river becomes a small village as members of the Seabreaze
Campers "come home" and reunite with members from abroad. In July it
is not uncommon to drive by and see a perennial fir tree, standing
almost 15 feet high, decorated and lit up as campers celebrate an
early Christmas together.
