Many of you will have already heard of the Margaree Forks area. Truly one of the beauty spots in the Maritimes, and in fact, one of the beauty spots in all of Canada. It has activities nearby that will appeal to everyone. One can leave in the morning, tour the Trail in a leisurely fashion, and be back the same evening.
Beaches are within easy driving distances.
There are several excellent restaurants in the general area, and many fine gift shops offering a large array of items including handcrafts indigenous to Cape Breton. For the canoeing enthusiast there are lakes and the nearby Margaree River, and of course, for those that prefer fresh water to salt, swimming in the same lakes and river. For those who care for an evening of dancing, there is a licensed lounge offering 'live' music on the weekends and conveniently located a half-mile away. Anyone who has fished for, or aspires to fish for, Atlantic salmon, knows of the legendary Margaree River. Excellent trout fishing is also available on the S.W. Margaree and other locations.
