This route consists of two lakes that are part of the Nova Scotia Power Nictaux Development. The water levels in each are controlled, and fluctuate with the demand for hydroelectric power. Dalhousie Lake is, in reality, a section of Bloody Creek that has been dammed to form the present lake.

Water levels in Corbett Lake and Dalhousie Lake can fluctuate dramatically, depending on NSP power generating activity.

Point of Interest: During an aerial photo survey in 1995, what is known as the "Bloody Creek Structure" (BCS) was identified as a possible impact crater, located within the reservoir of Dalhousie Lake. It was defined through the use of ground-penetrating radar and magnetic surveys. The crater rim is approximately 0.4km in diameter and slightly elliptical, and may be an indication of oblique impact. The relatively shallow depth of the BCS may be the result of significant erosion by glaciation and erosion, or the impact occurring on glacial ice overlying the bedrock. The crated site is under water.

Paradise Lake Route 13

This lake is part of the Nova Scotia Power Nictaux Development, and its water levels fluctuate dramatically with the demands of power generation. It is, however, a beautiful lake dotted with innumerable islands of varying size that can be explored. The shoreline is generally rocky, but offers many opportunities for lunch and rest stops. Sandy beaches are rare. Waterfowl are numerous in and around the lake, and hawks can be commonly sighted. Winds, even moderate, are of concern on this lake due to its relatively large size, shallow depth, and open areas without natural wind breaks. Caution and attention to weather conditions must be exercised on this lake.

Length: 5.0 kmTime: 1 day

Approach: South from Bridgetown 1.2 km to Carleton Corner and intersection of Highway 201. Left (EAST) along Highway 201, 300m to intersection of Morse Road.

Left (NORTH) along Thorne Road 6.5 km to cove at Paradise Lake.

Entry, Exit Points: Launch at cove.

Parking: At side of short road leading to dam.
