Review & FAQ:

The Cabot Trail is a 185-mile road in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia with scenery that will leave you awe-struck. The trail’s northern section goes through picturesque Cape Breton Highlands National Park, while the eastern and western parts of the trail wind along the rugged coastline, offering spectacular ocean views.

Driving along the southwestern part, you will pass through the Margaree River valley and Bras d'Or Lake. The trail goes up and down dangerously steep slopes and around several curves. It also offers many overlooks where you can stop to take in the scenery, look for whales, take a hike in the surrounding area, or visit one of the many heritage sites.
