If you go in the winter, be prepared to use ice cleats. The first part of the trail is steep and when we went it was almost all ice covered. Using ice cleats we made it down with no problem, but without them it would have been treacherous. Once at the bottom, the trail follows a nice little stream running between steep hills with old growth trees. It is quiet and peaceful. It is a walk in- back out trail, so you see everything twice, but it is worth the walk.

Park and enjoy a short walk down to the water. Sit on rocky beach area or explore the water and rocks Loved walk around here when the tide was out. Always plays with your mind seeing how much change happens in an hour Would highly recomend a good pair of shoes to explore. Check daily tide schedule

"Dr. Apple" is a sculpture of Eaves. The sculpture consists of the bronze figure, apple barrels and stacked apple crates. The barrels and crates have inscribed plates describing Eaves' research. The sculpture was commissioned by Allen Eaves to commemorate his father's work at the Kentville Agriculture Centre that extended the storage life of apples and other fruit.

Nice place to stop and from here I walked along the Harvest Moon trailway into downtown Kentville and back to the car. Eaves Hollow park is located just at the border between the towns of Kentville and New Minas. The Kentville Agricultural Station is located just across the road from this park. Btw I have driven into the KAS to look at the beautiful rhododendrons in June. There is no charge to drive in. It was interesting to see the statue of Charles Eaves in Eaves Hollow park. He was a Canadian scientist who worked at the KAS and he extended the storage of apples by controlling levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide. His research established storage methods that were adopted worldwide. Eaves Hollow park has a parking lot, a picnic table and tools for fixing your bike.
