Cabot Trail - Nova Scotia
Cabot Trail Skyline Trail 250 Hike, golf and dance the Highlands. “I have travelled the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes and the Alps and the highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all.” —Alexander Graham Bell The natural beauty of the highlands provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities such as golfing, kayaking, hiking, cycling, fishing, birdwatching, skiing, and snowmobiling. And don’t forget motorcycling! The Cabot Trail was featured in USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice for Best Motorcycle Trip in 2014. Cabot Trail Golfers will never forget a day at the Stanley Thompsondesigned Highlands Links, consistently ranked as one of the ten best golf courses in Canada. For a different perspective, take a guided kayak tour along the highlands of Northern Cape Breton. One of the most spectacular paddling destinations in North America, this remote and rugged coast offers imposing cliffs of ancient bedrock, which feature waterfalls, sea caves, and towering arches (see page 342). Some of the best hiking opportunities in Nova Scotia are found in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, with 26 trails for all interests and abilities. For a truly spectacular sunset view, take part in the Skyline Sunset Hike. This guided hike leads you to the top of a mountain headland, overlooking the ocean as the sun slowly dips into the horizon. The Cabot Trail’s natural beauty is only outdone by the area’s unique culture and unrivalled hospitality, which will certainly leave a lasting impression on you. You’ll feel like a local after attending a ceilidh and hearing some of Cape Breton’s finest musicians. Be sure to wear your dancing shoes, because you’ll be up learning how to step or square dance with new friends in no time. By the end of your stay, you may even know a few words of Gaelic. 1 800 565 0000 / novascotia.com Plan to spend at least three days along the Cabot Trail, where you’ll discover how Nova Scotia, or “New Scotland,” got its name.

Alexander Graham Bell Museum 252 Capture a Moment Carved into mountains that rise high above the shimmering waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Cabot Trail is a photographer’s dream. Cabot Trail Viewpoints Eagles Twenty-four viewpoints are scattered along the trail, giving visitors ample opportunities to pull safely off the road to take pictures, observe wildlife, or learn about a special aspect of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. In particular, the look-offs at French, North, and MacKenzie mountains offer unforgettable vistas of the rugged coastline, fishing boats in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and purple-hued Cape Smokey. View eagles all along the Margaree River system, especially the Southwest Branch in and near Lake Ainslie and the section from Margaree Forks to the Margaree Harbour bridge. Meat Cove Cabot Trail A trip to northern Cape Breton is not complete without making the journey out to Meat Cove. This small, remote community tucked into the mountains is the most northern point in Nova Scotia. The sheer slate cliffs sloping into the ocean and “edge of the world” feeling you’ll get by travelling this road can only be topped by seeing this dramatic coast from the water. The challenging nature of this environment is only suited for experienced paddlers and a guided tour is recommended. See page 342 for a listing of tour operators. Moose Moose are often seen grazing in the quiet shallows of lakes and streams in this col ourful tapestry of woodland, tundra, and bogs. The best time to spot them is just before dusk. If you see moose approaching the roadway, be cautious—use your camera’s zoom feature and enjoy these magnificent creatures from a safe distance. Atlantic Puffin These cute and stocky sea birds summer in large colonies on coastal cliffs and rocky offshore islands before making their way south in the fall. Due to the remoteness of their nesting areas, a boat tour to sites like the Bird Islands—Hertford and Ciboux—is the best way to view them. Donelda’s Bird Island Puffin Tours in Englishtown would be happy to welcome you aboard (see page 339). Meat Cove All-Weather Fun If you’d like to take shelter from the great outdoors, head inside to one of these attractions. Margaree Salmon Museum, North East Margaree Centre de la Mi-Carême, Chéticamp Learn about the history of salmon angling on the Margaree River in this former schoolhouse that houses an excellent collection of photographs and memorabilia (see page 265).

Turn to page 268 for a complete listing of Cabot Trail’s outdoor adventures. Salmon fishing on the Margaree River Kayaking off Northern Cape Breton For generations, anglers have been lured to the Margaree’s tumbling rapids, deep pools, and still marshes. This popularity has attracted the TV show The New Fly Fisher, which included the Margaree River as its first Nova Scotia location. One of the fishing guides who can help visitors try their luck is at Margaree Riverview Inn. Located in Margaree Forks, this property is located within 10 minutes of some of the island’s best salmon pools (see pages 259 & 268). One of the most spectacular paddling destinations in North America, this remote and rugged coast offers imposing cliffs of ancient bedrock, featuring waterfalls, sea caves, unique rock formations, and the occasional whale passerby. The challenging nature of this environment is only suited for experienced paddlers and a guided tour is recommended (see page 342 for a list of tour operators). Whalewatching Pods of Atlantic pilot whales spend their summers gorging on squid just off the shores of Pleasant Bay and Chéticamp. Book a zodiac tour to get up close and personal with these highly social sea creatures, which are likely to be as intrigued by you as you are by them. Along with many species of whales, chances are you’ll see porpoises, seals and seabirds while out on the open water. The best times to see whales are in the summer and fall months. 1 800 565 0000 / novascotia.com Cabot Trail Fishing on the Margaree Whalewatching near Chéticamp 255 Hiking the Highlands The 26 hiking trails in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park range from easy strolls to challenging climbs—all leading to panoramic views of canyons, highlands, and seacoasts.
