he Cabot Trail is a highway and scenic roadway in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. on the Cape Brenton Island.
It is located in northern Victoria County on Cape Breton Island.
The route measures 85 mi in length and completes a loop around the northern tip of the island, passing along and through the scenic Cape Breton Highlands. It is named after the explorer John Cabot who landed in Atlantic Canada in 1497, although most historians agree his landfall likely took place in Newfoundland and not Cape Breton Island. Construction of the initial route was completed in 1932.
The northern section of the Cabot Trail passes through Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The western and eastern sections follow the rugged coastline, providing spectacular views of the ocean. The southwestern section passes through the Margaree River valley before passing along Bras d'Or Lake.
We will be staying at Baddeck Cabot Trail Campround. It is about a 250 mile drive from Halifax, so we need to get started early.
