The drive

Route 358 is a collector road in Kings County, about 19 miles long, running from Greenwich, where it meets Trunk 1, to Scots Bay. This drive follows it north through Port Williams and Canning.

Between Port Williams and Canard the road crosses the Canard River and follows the Grand Dyke, built by the Acadians around 1750, in a wide curve. Farther north the route reaches Blomidon Provincial Park, on the Minas Basin shore, known for cliffs about 600 feet high and views over the world's highest tides.

The drive is 17.8 miles and takes about 30 minutes, with mostly gentle curves.
