The Harbour Authority of Bayfield was incorporated in April 1998. The harbour is situated within St. Georges Bay, which opens to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The Harbour Authority of Bayfield is responsible for managing, operating and maintaining a public fishing harbour located in the community of Bayfield, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia through a lease agreement with Small Craft Harbours (SCH), a branch of Fisheries & Oceans Canada (DFO). Our Harbour Authority is incorporated federally as a non-profit corporation and is managed by a volunteer board of directors. Our locally controlled organization and volunteer members have strong ties to the community and the local fishing industry. As a vital component of the SCH program, HAs are an efficient way of offering services, strengthening public investment and providing opportunities for communities to participate fully in the planning, operation and maintenance of harbour facilities. The Harbour Authority of Bayfield is essential to the social and economic life of our community of Bayfield.

The Bayview Education Centre school has a playground featuring inclusive, wheelchair-friendly play equipment designed to accommodate children of varying mobility needs, alongside a dedicated pre-primary outdoor space.

The park has a small picnic area with beautiful views of Antigonish and Cape Breton Island, as well as a well-marked trail system.   The 6-km trail system offers everything from leisurely paved walkways to fairly challenging unpaved hills – great for cross country skiing, snow-shoeing, wildlife observation or long hikes or quiet walks in the woods.  Park amenities include parking, picnic areas, fresh water taps, vault toilets, rest areas with benches and an interpretive centre with details of the park, its hiking trails and the area’s natural history.

On the plateau at the top of the mountain, this trail crosses wet barrens and evergreen forests typical of the highlands, ending at a small lake. Boardwalks in some sections keep you dry and protect the habitat from trampling. Moose are frequently seen as well as a variety of northern birds.

The trail opens up the heart of the wooded area and is home to many plants, animals and birds, cradling a lake in the center. Benches along the way are an invitation to sit and marvel. The purpose of this trail is to invite people into stillness and to touch the sacred within and around them. The garden invites us to enjoy the delight of a pond (home to fish and frogs), flowerbeds, trees and very friendly squirrels and chickadees. Our Labyrinth is located at the front of Bethany property. It is seasonal as it is mown into the grass. It will be available as early in June as weather permits until the end of October.
