Tidnish was the north end of the Old Chignecto Marine Railway, an impressive engineering project designed to pull wooden ships overland from the Northumberland Straight to Chignecto Bay, via a "Marine Railway". There are several interpretive displays in the area, including a picnic park on the site of the cradle wharf. As well, several trail systems have been developed on the old railbeds.
