About

Cape Smokey Provincial Park is on top of Smokey Mountain along the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island. 

With picnic tables and incredible look-off views, Cape Smokey is a popular rest stop for visitors to the Cabot Trail and the Cape Breton Highlands National Park area. The park has great bird watching and photography opportunities. 
A trail, 5 km (3.1 mi) each way, offers even more spectacular views. Rest stops are provided along the way.  Allow 4 hours for this hiking trail.
