Bras d'Or Lakes Book
Welcome to Cape Breton's rolling heartland, where the highlands meet
the lowlands along the shores of the island's beautiful inland sea
-- the Bras d'Or Lakes. The Bras d'Or Lakes Scenic Drive circles the
lake along shoreline roads that offer an ever-changing panorama of
woodlands, farms and villages, and are ideal for walking, biking and
birdwatching. The region is a major nesting area for bald eagles,
and these impressive birds can often be seen soaring aloft or
perched on shoreline trees.
There's something new around every corner along this route.
Experience the daily life of the early Scottish settlers at the Nova
Scotia Highland Village Museum. At Marble Mountain Museum you can
learn about marble quarrying in the late 1800s, and the Orangedale
Railway Station Museum offers a special look at late 19th-century
trains and train travel.
