One more birthplace of hockey

Lake Banook is one of many places that claim to be the “birthplace of hockey” with games being played on its frozen surface as early as 1827.

Located just five minutes away from Cole Harbour in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Lake Banook has long been a favourite of Cole Harbour residents.

Enjoy the many beaches of Lake Banook or explore by kayak or canoe for a fun-filled day.
