This trail is not too difficult and the view of the lake is stunning especially during the day. There is an option for an even better view, but the climb can be challenging. It was worth it to me.

no trip to cape breton is complete without a drive around the Cabot trail ! Expect to take the day around as you'll want to stop to take in those views and take photos. Be careful it's winding.
Be mindful of keepinga full tank of gas as you can go some distance without gas ...and if you time it right you can watch the sunset at the end of your drive.

Costumbres y cultura
the locals
The locals are some of the nicest people you'll encounter , be respectful of cape breton so they remain that way. Don't be surprised if they open a door, let you in line, or stop their car to let you cross the street.
