Charlie Loves the Porter's Lake Provincial Park!!!
|
A couple year's ago I had an email from Charlene who has a greyhound named
Hailey about the Porter's Lake Provincial Park and how fabulous a place it
was to go after all the damage of hurricane Juan, and I'd never gotten a
chance to go there - until August of 2006. Boy was I missing a great
place to go! It is heaven for dogs. There's tons of trails and
things to smell and pee on and the place is absolutely huge!
There's a great website on the provincial government's site that gives
great directions on how to get there and also what amenities it has - it
has camping facilities and stuff if that's what you're into - but it's
also got great big chunks that are pretty deserted - which are the part me
and the dogs went to. The provincial government's page is at http://parks.gov.ns.ca/parks/porters.htm
The way I got to the park was by heading out on the Cole Harbour Road (which is in Dartmouth of course!) past Lawrencetown beach and then turning left at a sign that said "provincial park" - which is just a couple kms past the Lawrencetown beach - and you drive for several kms on a windy road until you come to the Porter's Lake Provincial Park - which is on the right hand side of the road. And bring your bug spray!

Charlie loves Halifax has been on the internet since May of 2002 and has had over 100,000 hits from local dog lovers since then. It is a site maintained completely and solely by one (1) person and her dogs completely and utterly for her own pleasure and her personal beliefs about how she would like the Halifax Regional Municipality to become more dog friendly, and what she believes to be a lovely view of what the world is, and how what it can become. If you agree with her view of this dog-centric world - that is super-fant-abulous. If you don't - that is too bad, but that is your opinion - just as everything on this website is - the opinion and beliefs of one person. If you believe them to be anything more than that - you have been mis-informed and have given me an importance anyone would lust after, but I certainly do not covet. Thanks for reading....

the right is an aerial picture from that website of the park. I can
tell you that from the ground the park doesn't look anything like this!

finishing up peeing on something very good, and Charlie deciding whether
or not he was going to take his turn peeing on whatever Daisy had just
peed on!
