Featured in McLeans Magazine as Paradise
Found, located on the picturesque Cabot Trail
in Cape Breton, seven small communities dot the valleys formed
by the Margaree River as it winds from the Highlands and Lake
Ainslie to the sandy shores of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The
local culture is a blend of Scotish, Irish, French-Acadian and
English.
The pristine setting is ideal for the outdoor enthusiast featuring
mountain hiking trails. The Margaree River is famous for its
salmon pools where you can test your skill at fly-fishing.
Visit the Margaree Fish Hatchery and use their underwater camera
to check out the salmon and trout raised there.
Local artists and craftspeople offer quilts, unbelievable pottery,
and wooden folk art. Enjoy quaint museums and fine dining.
