Description

A dramatic headland cliff overlooks the rugged coast from the end of this level trail. You can enjoy an eagle's view of the Cabot Trail as it winds its way down the mountain vehicles look like toys. Watch for whales in the Gulf of St. Lawrence from the viewing decks. Moose, bald eagles, bears and numerous boreal birds live in this habitat. Be cautious with children around the cliffs and give moose a wide berth. The headland plants are very fragile and easily damaged by trampling, so stay on the boardwalk. Dogs are not permitted here as they disturb wildlife, especially moose and bear. Distance: 6.5 km / 4 mi (return) or 8.2 km / 5.1 mi (loop)

Get a Park map at the entrance of the Cape Breton highlands national park. They'll recommend you this walk anyway. Easy walk, stunning views, chance to see wildlife. Just amazing.
