Bethany June at Island Folk

Over the past few years, it’s been great to see so many new businesses open up downtown Sydney, and in this blog, I wanted to share with you my experiences after spending a weekend downtown.

Cape Breton Island is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, and when winter descends, the island transforms into a wonderland of snow-covered trails, frosted trees, and serene vistas.

Snow Covered mountains.  Forests and fields blanketed with fresh layers of snow, your winter adventure just waiting to be explored.  Cape Breton’s hiking trails and scenic routes are like works of art from mother nature’s winter palate. 

The Island Wide Waterfall Weekend is a weekend to get up and get outside. Cape Breton Island will be bustling this weekend as visitors and residents are encouraged to join us as we travel to 12 different waterfalls across the Island!

Waterfall Season returns to Cape Breton Island!

Why not give snowshoeing a try this winter. Check out our list of places to rent snowshoes so you can test out this winter sport before committing to purchasing any gear.

Cape Breton Island is not only a place of stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage but also a welcoming destination for the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
