The Penhorn Lake Greenway and Penhorn Lake Recreational Trail project aims to enhance the trail infrastructure in and around the Penhorn Lake area of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. This initiative began with the Penhorn Lake Area Greenway Plan in 2014, with the goal of filling gaps in the HRM’s Regional Trails Network and providing essential active transportation (AT) and pedestrian linkages to improve community connectivity.

The project includes the development of new trails and associated improvements, ultimately connecting the Trans-Canada Trail at Lake Banook to the Portland Estates and Baker Drive Trails at Russell Lake. The project encompassed multiple phases, each contributing to the creation of a sustainable, accessible, and inclusive recreational trail for all residents.
