Shelburne Commissary

Last Update March 3, 2005

This access is nearly at the head of the Shelburne Harbour which is approximately 7 kilometers long.  The Shelburne Harbour in itself makes a good day's paddle exploring along the coastline. The many accesses to the coast in the Town and Municipality of Shelburne makes it a good paddling destination. There are also many cottages and Bed and Breakfasts within Shelburne Harbour that can be easily paddled to for overnight lodging.
