Join us for an unforgettable experience paddling along the beautiful Cabot Trail. Based out of Margaree, Nova Scotia, we at Cape Breton West want to help you have the Cape Breton experience that will stay with you forever!
THIS TOUR SERIOUSLY ROCKS!
It begins in Margaree Forks and weaves you through a series of salmon pools, into the lush interval farmlands. Offering a little more than your typical flat-water paddle, this lazy run has a few tricks up its sleeve. No experience required, just a fun attitude and confidence! An experienced guide will be with you to smoothly navigate through this ever-changing course. Be sure to wear something you’re cool getting wet in; I’m not saying that you’re gonna get wet, but… you are standing on a board floating down a river.
If youd like to explore the Margaree River on your own, we can provide gear rentals and transportation for the more adventurous traveler.
