About Porters Lake
The town
Porters Lake is a rural community on the Eastern Shore, inside the Halifax Regional Municipality, along Trunk 7 east of Dartmouth. The municipality's planning documents describe it as the main cluster of shops and services for the communities in the eastern half of its plan area, from Lake Echo out to the Chezzetcook villages. Halifax Regional Municipality handles planning and building permits here. Porters Lake falls under the Planning Districts 8 and 9 (Lake Echo/Porters Lake) plan and land use by-law, which also covers Lake Echo, Gaetz Brook, Seaforth and the Chezzetcooks. The nearest full hospital is Dartmouth General, with a 24-hour emergency department.
Around it
The country around Porters Lake mixes lakes, woodland and coastal settlements, many first settled by Acadians and later by Loyalist and British families. The area plan expects development to rely on on-site wells and septic systems, and it discourages new central sewer systems except for institutional and industrial uses. Porters Lake Provincial Park, on West Porters Lake Road, has a seasonal campground, a freshwater beach, short trails and a public boat launch on the lake. Highway 107 runs past the community toward Dartmouth and Musquodoboit Harbour, and Halifax Stanfield is the nearest airport with scheduled flights.
