Mount Stewart Wildlife Management Area, Mount Stewart, PE consists of over 190 ha of fresh and saltwater marsh along the banks of the Hillborough River.

The Confederation Trail (aka Trans Canada Trail) provides excellent views of the Hillsborough River, as well as the surrounding wetlands near Mount Stewart. Alternatively, the 3 km Pigot Trail around Allisary Creek allows hikers, walkers, and cross-country skiers to explore a variety of different habitats, including marsh, mixed woodland, riparian, and agriculture.
