Lower Branch is a community in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lower Branch is located at 44.4188°N, 64.5733°W.

Lower Branch nestles into a landscape of rolling hills, where ancient forests, thick with hemlock and spruce, spill down towards the meandering waters of the LaHave River. It lies 6.3 km north-west of Bridgewater, NS (from Bridgewater, NS: bearing 317°T), and is situated 7.4 km north-north-west of Hebbville. The air here often carries the scent of pine needles warmed by the sun, a subtle perfume that mingles with the briny tang of distant ocean breezes. Fields, stitched with the golden threads of hay and the emerald of pasture, punctuate the woodland, their edges softened by the encroaching wild. The terrain, carved by glaciers long ago, presents a gentle, yet persistent, undulation, inviting a slower stride and a watchful eye for the deer that often emerge from the trees at dusk, their forms silhouetted against the fading light. The roots of Lower Branch run deep into the maritime heritage of Lunenburg County, a place where the rhythm of the tides once dictated the pulse of life. While the grand schooners of yesteryear are now largely absent from its shores, the spirit of resourcefulness endures, a quiet legacy passed down through generations. Farming continues to be a bedrock of the local economy, with small holdings yielding a bounty of produce, and the nearby LaHave River, though no longer the bustling artery of trade it once was, still offers its quiet gifts. The land itself, a rich loam in many places, holds the memory of past endeavors, from the clearing of forests to the planting of crops, all contributing to the distinctive character of Lower Branch.
