Cabot Trail

The Cabot Trail is a highway on the Cape Breton Island of Nova Scotia. He forms between the towns of Cheticamp and Ingonish in the northern Cape Breton Highlands National Park, a scenic road, which is considered one of the finest in North America.

The trail is a ring road of about 300 km in length. It runs along the west coast of Cape Breton Island, crossed at the northern tip, the Cape Breton Highlands, directed along the east coast again to the south and crosses at the level of the Bras d' Or Lake through the valley of the Margaree River back to the west coast. The northern part of the trail runs through the Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

Is named the trail after John Cabot, the first European to 1497 explored the island. The construction of the original trail was completed in 1932. The highway has since been expanded several times.
