This is a short trail featuring a replica of a Scottish croft.

This is the largest protected grove of Old growth sugar maples on the island.

Very pleasant walk thru the sugar maples!

Great place to stretch your legs

We stopped here for about half an hour to stretch our legs and rest during our drive around Cabot Trail. It was a pleasant walk through gorgeous nature!

Lovely Little Trail

This little trail is a nice little loop and features a replica of a shieling or Scottish crofter’s hut. A great spot for a little stroll through the trees and meadows and surrounded by the majestic hills and mountains of the Cabot Trail.

Short hike, historic

If you are travelling the Cabot Trail near Pleasant Bay be sure to visit the Lone Shieling site. It includes a lovely trail around a bubbling stream. The trail is short so its good for kids... let them walk! Its worth the stop!

Easy 'hike'

A well-groomed loop trail with 2 stream crossovers takes about 15 minutes. Not sure of the purpose of the 'hut', could be used for backpackers overnight. Signs warn about use of this area of the park - restricted access area.

The Scottish Trail

Many Scottish were expelled from the Isle of Skye. They left their country and ended up in Cape Breton. Donald S. Macintosh gave 100 acres for a park in 1934. He owned 4000 acres of the hardwood forest. The biggest one in the Maritimes. We...More
