and any other major towns in the South Shore Region. The Pinehurst area is part of the Lunenburg County Christmas Tree Growers' Association with many private growers who are very busy from mid November to mid December harvesting trees for export and also for private sale. Many of the growers even allow people to go into the "lots" and pick and cut their own trees.
The Lahave River, running through Pinehurst from New Germany Lake to Wentzell's Lake, is a favourite fishing spot for most anglers, boasting some of the best salmon fishing in Lunenburg County
, and during high water levels can make for some very exciting canoeing and kayaking adventures. During summer and autumn a small field along the river becomes a small village as members of the Seabreaze Campers "come home" and reunite with members from abroad. In July it is not uncommon to drive by and see a perennial fir tree, standing almost 15 feet high, decorated and lit up as campers celebrate an early Christmas together.
