Outdoor Adventure

For the outdoorsy type, Cape Breton Island is a dream come true—on land and by sea. If sailing takes you away, then our magnificent Bra d'Or Lakes are an essential voyage. Gentle and fog-free, the lakes are actually one body of water, encompassed by unforgettable scenery and a stunning array of wildlife. For those who'd rather venture by foot, Cape Breton is just as dazzling. Dozens of hiking trails run within our Island, including the Cabot's Skyline Trail, whose endpoint overlooking the Gulf of St. Lawrence is simply beyond words.
