Waterfall Season returns to Cape Breton Island!
Cape Breton is filled with incredible natural places. It's home to meandering rivers, rolling hills, cascading waterfalls and scenic lakes. These locations are beautiful in every season but they really shine in the fall.
We have some of Nova Scotia's favourite Instagrammers coming to Cape Breton to experience the ultimate road trip, the Cabot Trail! Find out which way is the best way to experience the Cabot Trail.
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.
Read through and see how many places, views, and experiences you can check off from this Epic Winter Bucket List!
It is well-established that dance tradition is an important, if not defining, influence on Cape Breton's traditional music.
