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.

The North Highlands Nordic Ski Club (NHN) was founded in 1977 by a small group of enthusiastic cross country skiers who shared a love of winter and of the splendid scenery in the Northeast Highlands Area of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.

Come late November, when parts of Canada begin to be blanketed with snow, Cape Breton wonders if Mother Nature has forgotten her. Not a chance. Winter on Cape Breton Island is inevitable.

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

Parks Canada is working with Destination Cape Breton Association, Tourism Nova Scotia, and other partners to keep visitors informed and safe.

There’s no need to break the bank when you’re looking to fill up a fun day on the Island. Here are just a few of the many options available to keep you and your family entertained this winter without spending the big bucks.
