The Shag Harbour Bridge is one kilometer east of the access at Shag Harbour Station Road (near civic 5539 Hwy 3). The bridge is at CNR Mile 91.7 along the abandoned Halifax and South Western Railway which is being recovered as shared multiuse trail by the Woodland Multiuse Trail Association with support from the Shelburne County ATV Association.
