89 Provincial Park Road
Whycocomagh Provincial Park occupies a dramatic hillside overlooking the Skye River Valley and the Bras dOr Lakes. This is a quiet scenic setting for camping and hiking, or as a base from which to take in the areas many attractions. Fall colours make the park a must-visit location in October. A series of hiking trails (5.4 km / 3.3 mi total) lead to four Salt Mountain look-offs offering excellent views of the Bras d’Or Lakes. From the park, eagles may be seen soaring above the lake or perched in trees along its shores. Whycocomagh is Nova Scotias first provincial park to offer yurt camping. Yurts are outfitted with beds, solar lighting, outdoor decks and propane barbecues.
