Margaree Highland Games

Join Ashley MacDonald, one of our Adventure Ambassadors, on an outdoor adventure along the Cabot Trail. If you enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing or just the sound of nature, you'll enjoy this blog!

Whether you come for the fishing or relaxing on the River, a day at the beach, or a square dance in Southwest Margaree, you’ll leave refreshed and exhilarated, and ready to plan your return.

Many marvel at the breathtaking views Cape Breton has in the summertime, but have you ever truly appreciated unwinding in our gorgeous winter? These snowy escapes could become your new favourite way to recharge this season.

Meat Cove is the end of the world but it is a daunting drive and best kept for advanced riders.

This region includes beautiful communities like Cape North, Bay St Lawrence, Capstick and Meat Cove.

One of our favourite parts of this hike is the sound of the river beside you as you wander through the forest and see the stunning mountains of the Highlands around you.

When you walk out onto the ice in South Harbour, flanked by the Cape Breton Highlands and one of the nicest beaches in Atlantic Canada and the Atlantic Ocean, catching a fish is simply a bonus.
