Truro: A Sports and Horse Lovers’ Playground

Name your sport of preference. Truro offers a plethora of choices such as swimming, hiking, equestrianism, skating and skiing, plus over six golf courses. However, the town is probably most famous for the Truro Raceway, the largest harness racing location in the Maritimes. You can catch the live action of harness racing every Sunday; or meander through the grounds anytime and visit the 200 in-house horses.

For the seeker of unique experiences

The marvel of Truro’s own tidal bore is an unrivalled phenomenon, and people come from all over to see it. The bore is created when the Salmon River collides with the incoming tides of the Bay of Fundy, creating a wave of water moving up-river. The river level can rise a meter in just five minutes, and reaches as high as 15m (49ft)) within an hour – or even 21m (69 ft) in the spring.
