St. Peter's Canal National Historic Site

There are two great ways to make your next trip to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park one you’ll never forget.

Once again, your heart is pumping, you’re amazed and invigorated as you ascend to the top of Franey Mountain and your reward… a 360° view of the entire Clyburn Brook canyon and the Atlantic coastline from Cape Smokey to Ingonish! Simply breath-taking

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

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.

Many marvel at the breathtaking views Cape Breton has in the summertime, but have you ever truly appreciated unwinding in our gorgeous winter? These snowy escapes could become your new favourite way to recharge this season.

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.

One of the absolute best ways to see Cape Breton Island’s awe inspiring scenery, and meet other people passionate about getting outside, is by hiking its trails...

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.

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