 Winter Guided Hike & Walk Series 2027
Call for Events
Deadline to register events: December 13, 2026

We are happy to announce that our seasonal guided event series is back after a hiatus due to funding cuts!

Hike NS invites groups across NS to partner with it on delivering winter guided hike, walk or snowshoe events from January to March of 2027. The purpose of the event series is to:
  • Get more people in NS hiking, walking and snowshoeing
  • Highlight local trails and increase their use
  • Promote Hike NS and local trail/hiking groups

Hike NS will help promote events and provide a how-to guide and trail prizes to giveaway. If your municipality, First Nation or organization can organize a walk or snowshoe event (or already plan to host one), please register your event by December 13, 2026 for events between January 9 and March 14, 2027. Note: for HRM events, we ask that they be held in January and February. Only the first 50 events will be accepted (spots might fill up before the deadline, so don't delay). Note that one organization may register only up to five walks and register only one event per online form. You will be contacted soon after the deadline to confirm the details of your event. You will receive a confirmation email immediately after submitting this form (please contact us if you do not receive one).

Free Hike Leaders
Hike NS does not have the volunteer or staff capacity to provide free hike leaders to specific groups, so please contact your local community trail group or municipal recreation department - they might be able to help. And there are lots of free guided hike events already scheduled for you and your group to enjoy on our events page, organized by various organizations across the province.
