Set sail from St. Peters on part of the UNESCO Bras dOr Lake BioSphere Reserve. Your captain, Gordon Kerr, will teach you the ropes of sailing and give you a chance to try it for yourself, if you wish. This adventure departs from the lake side of the St. Peters Canal National Historic Site, a historic locks system that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Bras dOr Lake.
The Bras dOr Lake, an inland sea of part-fresh and part-salt water, is home to a variety of sea life and birds such as bald eagles and the great blue heron. For the full-day adventure, we can sail by Chapel Island National Historic Site, site of one of the first contacts between the Mi’kmaq nation and the Europeans.
The Bras dOr Lake has a great reputation for being one of the greatest sailing destinations of the world. With its sheltered waters, summer water temperatures averaging 7579°F (2426°C), southwest prevailing winds, and fog-free water, you can see why the Bras dOr Lake has acquired such a reputation.
