Grand Lake (Nova Scotia) facts for kids

Grand Lake is a name that can refer to many different lakes in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It's a common name, so there are at least nine lakes with "Grand Lake" in their name across the province!

Why So Many Grand Lakes?

Sometimes, different places end up with the same name. This often happens when a name is simple or describes something common. "Grand" can mean large or important, so many communities might have named their biggest or most important lake "Grand Lake."

Where Are They?

These lakes are spread out across Nova Scotia. You can find them in different counties and regions. Each one is unique, even if they share a name!
