| Kemptville has a large recreational area used for
camping and sport fishing. It has a rich heritage which began with the
Mi'kmaq and continued with settlers from Argyle and Roberts Island in the
early 1800s. A forest fire swept through the area in 1820 and the then
Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia named Kempt sent aid. It was in his
honour that the settlement was named Kemptville. Adventurous visitors can
kayak down the Tusket River's small rapids or take advantage of the many
lakes and go boating, water skiing, tubing. or jet skiing.. |
