Forest Hills rests upon the Atlantic coast, anchored within the rising terrain of Breakheart Hill. It lies 7.3 km east of Dartmouth, NS (from Dartmouth, NS: bearing 85°T), and is situated 8.8 km east-north-east of Halifax. The landscape here breathes with the salt-heavy air of the sea, where the Little Salmon River carves its path toward the shore, drawing the cool light of dusk across its surface. Settle Lake waits only 2 km away, its stillness offering a quiet contrast to the persistent movement of the nearby ocean tides. The air carries a crisp, maritime clarity, and the earth here feels firm, shaped by the ancient, rugged geology that defines this stretch of the coast. The history of Forest Hills reflects the endurance of those who looked to the water and the timber for their livelihood. While the modern economy shifts toward a more suburban pace, the proximity to McNabs and Lawlor Islands Provincial Park serves as a reminder of the vast, protected silences that lie just 8 km away. Residents maintain a connection to this geography, whether they are watching the fog roll in from the coast or venturing toward the distant Bad Luck Falls, which sits 16 km inland. Life in Forest Hills moves with the steady, predictable pulse of the tides, grounding the people in a daily routine that honors the proximity of the wild, untamed Atlantic.
