Shaw Wilderness Park Temporary Closure

Established in 1968 for the Preservation of Williams Lake
We are celebrating 5 years of enjoyable recreation in this amazing wilderness on Williams Lake in Spryfield. You are invited to join us as we acknowledge this community effort and appreciate the generous work of many individuals who made this park a recreational destination for nature enthusiasts.
Let’s celebrate Shaw Wilderness Park’s 5th Birthday on Monday, September 15th. We are celebrating 5 years of protected urban wilderness habitat in the Halifax Backlands and enjoyable recreation in this amazing park on Williams Lake in Spryfield. The park was among the first of the urban wilderness parks established in Canada. Its 380 acres include essential habitat for wildlife and breathing space for humans.
Province-wide restrictions on activities in “the woods” put most of the Backlands out of bounds
Build Nova Scotia presented information on their project to replace the 255-year-old leaky dam at the Williams Lake Conservation Company’s (WLCC) annual general meeting in June.
