Cabot Trail Cabot Trail 156 Hike, golf and dance the Highlands. “I have travelled the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes and the Alps and the highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all.” —Alexander Graham Bell The natural beauty of the highlands provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities such as golfing, kayaking, hiking, cycling, fishing, birdwatching, skiing, and snowmobiling. And don’t forget motorcycling! The Cabot Trail was featured in USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice for Best Motorcycle Trip in 2014. The Cabot Trail’s natural beauty is only outdone by the area’s unique culture and unrivalled hospitality. You’ll feel like a local after attending a ceilidh and hearing some of Cape Breton’s finest musicians. Be sure to wear your dancing shoes, because you’ll be up learning how to step or square dance with new friends in no time. By the end of your stay, you may even know a few words of Gaelic. Plan to spend at least three days along the Cabot Trail, where you’ll discover how Nova Scotia, or “New Scotland,” got its name. novascotia.com Cabot Trail Golfers will never forget a day at the Stanley Thompson– designed Highlands Links, consistently ranked as one of the ten best golf courses in Canada. For a different perspective, take a guided kayak tour along the highlands of Northern Cape Breton. One of the most spectacular paddling destinations in North America, this remote and rugged coast offers imposing cliffs of ancient bedrock, which feature waterfalls, sea caves, and towering arches. Some of the best hiking opportunities in Nova Scotia are found in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, with 26 trails for all interests and abilities. For a truly spectacular sunset view, take part in the Skyline Sunset Hike. This guided hike leads you to the top of a mountain headland, overlooking the ocean as the sun slowly dips into the horizon. The beauty of the highlands inspires many artisans living around the Cabot Trail. Stop in to watch them create their art, or try one of the hands-on workshops such as Glass Blowing at Glass Artisans Studio & Gallery (see page 166). Skyline Trail (see page 168) 157 Alexander Graham Bell Museum White Glove Tour Not-To-Be-Missed Experiences There are many special hands-on activities along the nearly 300 kilometres of the worldfamous Cabot Trail. These suggestions will ensure that you miss nothing along the way. First flights, kites, and White Glove Tours Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, Baddeck Explore the life and work of this great teacher, scientist, and inventor. On display is a reproduction of Bell’s Silver Dart, the first plane ever to fly in Canada (c. 1909). Get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Bell’s life by taking part in the White Glove Tour, or build and fly your own tetrahedral kite. Now in its second season Bells of Baddeck is a music-drama, portraying the story of inventor Alexander Graham Bell and his wife Mabel, who came to Cape Breton and fell in love with its people, music and Gaelic charm. Runs July 2–August 6 (see page 165). Bite into local cuisine Delve into la vie acadienne Les Trois Pignons, Chéticamp Chéticamp’s Acadian history and culture come alive through its world-famous hooked rugs and antiquities. The site also offers a genealogy resource centre, a library, and a full range of visitor information services (see page 165).

Cabot Trail Cabot Trail 158 Outdoor Adventures The Cabot Trail is a nature-lover’s paradise, so get out and enjoy all it has to offer for explorers of every fitness level. Turn to page 167 for a complete listing of Cabot Trail’s outdoor adventures. Cape Breton Highlands National Park Explore dozens of hiking trails—there is one for every experience level—and keep an eye out for bald eagles and moose as you wind your way through the park on the Cabot Trail. Pack a picnic and take your time soaking in scenic vistas of sky meeting sea or stay a few days at one of the many campsites throughout the park. To make your outdoor stay easier, book an oTENTik or equipped camping site (see pages 167 & 168). Salmon fishing on the Margaree River For generations, anglers have been lured to the Margaree’s tumbling rapids, deep pools, and still marshes. This popularity has attracted the TV show The New Fly Fisher, which chose the Margaree River as its first Nova Scotia location. One of the fishing guides who can help visitors try their luck is at Margaree Riverview Inn, which is located in Margaree Forks within 10 minutes of some of the island’s best salmon pools (see pages 161 & 167). Kayaking off Northern Cape Breton One of the most spectacular paddling destinations in North America, this remote and rugged coast offers magnificent cliffs, sea caves, unique rock formations, and the occasional whale passerby. The challenging nature of this environment is only suited for experienced paddlers, and a guided tour is recommended (see page 206 for a list of tour operators). Go kayaking to evoke your inner artist in Baddeck Dipping your paddle alongside seals and seabirds, while surrounded by our coastal cliffs, can bring out the artist in anyone. North River Kayak Tours offers tours like The Songwriting Kayaker and The Painted Kayaker (see page 207). Whalewatching novascotia.com Cabot Trail Moose Pods of Atlantic pilot whales spend their summers gorging on squid just off the shores of Pleasant Bay and Chéticamp. Book a Zodiac tour to get up close and personal with these highly social sea creatures, which are likely to be as intrigued by you as you are by them. Along with many species of whales, chances are you’ll see porpoises, seals, and seabirds while out on the open water. The best times to see whales are in the summer and fall months (see pages 204–205). Whalewatching near Chéticamp 159 Hike into the sunset at Cape Breton Highlands National Park One of Destination Canada’s Signature Experiences, the guided Skyline Sunset Hike will lead you out to one of the best views in the province, on top of a mountain headland, overlooking the ocean at sunset. For more information call 902-224-4227 (Chéticamp) or 902-285-2535 (Ingonish Beach). Puffin-Viewing Boat Tour These cute, stocky seabirds summer in large colonies on coastal cliffs and rocky offshore islands before making their way south in the fall. Due to the remoteness of their nesting areas, a boat tour to sites like the Bird Islands—Hertford and Ciboux—is the best way to view them. Donelda’s Bird Island Puffin Tours in Englishtown would be happy to welcome you aboard (see page 205). Cycling the Cabot Trail Hiking on Franey Mountain Sail the Bras d’Or Lake Biosphere Reserve Cabot Trail While visiting the lakeside community of Baddeck, set sail with Amoeba Sailing Tours or Sailing CBI to explore the Bras d’Or Lake. This large inland sea is part fresh- and part saltwater, allowing it to sustain diverse ecosystems and wildlife, including many bald eagles (see page 204). novascotia.com Named one of the top ten cycling destinations in the world by Lonely Planet, the Cabot Trail is a must-do on every cycling enthusiast’s itinerary. The 300 kilometres of paved roads take you along rolling terrain and up steep hills, all with a view of the open ocean. There are a variety of tour packages available to help you make the most of this epic excursion. If you prefer an independent adventure, head to Vélo Max Cycling in Chéticamp to rent a bike and pick up cycling supplies before hitting the hills. Visit cyclenovascotia.ca to download route maps and GPS coordinates. See pages 206–207 for a list of tour operators.
