Cape Breton Island is home to some of Canada’s most popular musicians, and the inspiration for some of the country’s best writers. The island that has captured the imaginations of countless artists is one of the most beautiful, wild places in Canada.

Revised for the first time in more than ten years, Hiking Trails of Cape Breton profiles 40 routes on Cape Breton Island, ranging from its very northern tip at Money Point all the way to the Ghost Beach Trail, which begins as soon as you cross the Canso Causeway. GPS coordinates to the trailheads are provided for each path, greatly facilitating finding those less-well-known routes, and cellphone coverage on each trail, so important for safety, is mentioned. Detailed maps for each path are provided, making the book both useful to read and valuable to carry along the trail.
