The best gravel routes in Nova Scotia, ranked

Every route on this list is one I've ridden myself, scored out of 10 on the gravel itself, the scenery, how little traffic there is, and how badly I want to go back. I re-rank it after every ride.

If you are looking for a legit race prep type gravel route this is it. LOTS of climbing, I went clockwise. I would have rated this higher but I had much more fun on the Old Coach Trail ride I did..this one is absolutely grueling.
