When you come to Cape Breton hiking is something that everyone has to do! There are hikes for every age and every ability.

We all need some motivation to leave the house, put our boots on and hit the trails. Some do it to stay in shape, some do it to meet fellow hikers and some do it just to reconnect with Mother Nature.

You may want to work your way up to this hike! So consider conquering North River Falls as something to aim for as you build your hiking repertoire. The hike is a well-maintained trail, part of the North River Provincial Park and Wilderness Area.

This is a huge debate. Keep in mind, 100% say going around both ways is the solution to the problem…

Louisbourg is best known for its world class reconstruction of its 18th century Fortress, but it’s also a nature lover’s paradise!

Cape Breton is filled with incredible natural places. It's home to meandering rivers, rolling hills, cascading waterfalls and scenic lakes. These locations are beautiful in every season but they really shine in the fall.

Cape Breton Island has so many awesome places to explore and all of these places are right in our backyards.

There are so many hiking trails with phenomenal views in Cape Breton that it’s difficult to narrow it down to 5.
