Fantastic views crossing over to (or back from) Cape Breton Island

I guess to have a fixed link to Cape Breton Island, it wasn't just a causeway they had to build. There's a large mine next door to the causeway, and big ships need in and out. We would have loved to see the turning bridge...More

Rotating Bridge

Not sure why the Canso Canal is even mentioned but I guess watching a bridge turn sideways on a column is intriguing.

Entering Heaven

Cross the canal to Cape Breton and you are entering heaven. The canal is scenic and a few pictures are necessary.

I feel like this location is tremendously overrated- maybe its just me. Its a bridge that everyone must take to access cape Breton island. Canals are always impressive, but this is not suited to have visitors and is not tourist friendly- just glance as you...More

The view!

The view is so awesome! It’s so impressive to see the ocean. And driving across on the causeway is a treat. You notice how they’ve added many rocks and boulders on the shoulders of the bridge. Apparently, the causeway is closed 3-4 times a year...More

A beautiful view on the Atlantic!

Everything went well when we crossed on the causeway into Cape Breton. There were two lanes, one coming from Cape Breton and the other lane from the mainland. At one place, there was a lift bridge. The best part of the causeway is the view...More

It's a working canal

Quite an interesting canal, particularly if a boat goes through and the road is closed, as happened to us.

There is not necessarily a lot to see here, though there are a couple of information boards nearby. It is more approachable when leaving the island as there is an easy turn off to go into the parking area. Most of the canal itself is...More

Great spot for Fishing

This is the spot where my husband and I usually take the kids fishing and recently - a few of our friends were fortunate enough to get video of some whales near the canal! How cool is that!

It is presently undergoing maintenance so it is a little bit slow

We saw all kinds of big fish, tuna, dolphins, black fish and one large whale, it was an awesome expierence. Lots of folks stopped to take pictures. It connects Cape Breton to Nova Scotia .
