Angevine Lake Nature Reserve is an ecological hot spot in the Northumberland Strait Plain natural landscape.
It encompasses forests along and near the lake, and provides habitat for many rare plant species, including round-lobed hepatica and endangered ram’s head lady’s slipper.
Most of the reserve supports poorly drained, black spruce dominated forest. Red spruce, red maple, and white ash also occur.
This site includes about 1,200 m of lakeshore on Angevine Lake, among the longest stretches of protected lakefront in this part of Nova Scotia.
