It’s a good scene route. I did clockwise drive & enjoyed it. Definitely worth the drive. Lots of hiking options and trails. Good for someone who like hiking and trails, definitely need few days to explore & bring mosquitoes and find accommodation near by park. Make sure your Gas tank is full, sometime cape Breton is out of gas. i

Wow! I feel very lucky to have had the experience of doing the loop and seeing all the beauty of this park! It's one of those places that would inspire someone to write a song. It's also a place where people live, clung to the fringes of the park, nestled in little village settings, getting by on a simpler living. I can easily understand now why Cape Bretoners band together to sing of the simple joys! This park has some of the most amazing majestic views, You simply cannot rush through it.

This is one of my all-time favourite places to visit. The camping here is incredible. The hiking amazing, and the views and geology stunning. There is so much to explore, I couldn’t cover it all in one review. Definitely check this place out. It is a gem for Nova Scotia. If you are going camping though, book early. This place books up really fast. Beaches are amazing as well.

The Cabot trail has amazing views! Plenty to do, plenty of restaurants and places to visit. I was sad that the chowder house was closed at the time we visited. We checked on the website for their opening hours but I guess something came up and they didn't open. But there were plenty other choices. We took the whole day to complete the trail. (298km) at the end of the trail, the stores started to close(4pm - 5pm). So plan ahead!

The skyline trail was terrific (even in the rain)! Point McCloud (I think!) is stunning and massive! The Cabot Trail is a must-do activity for the scenery, hiking trails, restaurants, and shops! A group can enter the park for $16.75. Value-packed day trip! Highly, highly, highly recommended!

Campgrounds, trails, and roads in good condition. Reserve Campground in advance. They fill up quickly. Beautiful views pull offs available to stop and enjoy. Restaurants and grocery stores along the way.

I drive that I will never forget. Every turned revealed the beauty of this magical place. and tons of little shops and bakeries on the Cabot trail. Skyline hiking trail is a must must do.

What a georgous drive this is. We stopped at many of the parks pull offs and did a couple trails. Big fan of the Lakeside trail. Especially on a windy rainy day. We saw seals riding in the waves. Sorry no picture. The birds and greenery were plentiful. Basic vc at Ingonish. The young ladies here seemed knowledgeable about the park they were working in.

Cape Breton Highlands National Park is a must see if you're visiting Cape Breton. If you're travelling the Cabot Trail, you will need to obtain a park pass to complete it. Entrance is included for those who hold a Discovery Pass. There are tons of hiking trail opportunities, beaches, lakes, lookoff spots, and bathroom breaks along the way. The park also offers camping sites, but we did not camp this time. It's worth a visit just for the spectacular views. We plan on returning in the fall to hike the skyline trail.

Broad Cove Campground near Ingonish is a great place to explore the Cape Breton Highlands. We drive from there to Cheticamp and back. There were lots of great view points unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. 🙁 The roads in the park are excellent...those maintained by the province leave a lot to be desired. My only complaint with the campground is the placement of the picnic tables and the fire pits. It felt like I was sitting on my neighbours camp site, which was unnecessary as the sites are very large but the picnic tables are immovable.

We tent camped at Broad Cove. It was rainy for 3 days, but we had the whole beach to ourselves and our last night was glorious with clear night skies and a beautiful view of the Perseids in mid-August. Weekdays are great with the whole park to yourself...but we definitely fed the local mosquitoes and biting flies especially at dusk and dawn. ;-)

Lovely site with water, electricity and sewer. Laundry and dishwashing stations within walking distance and super clean comfort stations with showers. A few nice trails on the campground and a beach with the most beautiful colour of sand!
