 | | In spite of its name, Cape Breton has not been an island since 1955, when a 2-mile [3.2-km] causeway, the deepest in the world (217 feet, 66 meter), was constructed across the Strait of Canso. |
 | | With whales offshore, moose inland and bald eagles circling above you, the Cabot Trail is a paradise for nature lovers. |
 | | Park at the lodge and follow the trail to the end of the peninsula for views of Cape Smokey and Tern Rock, a nesting place for common and arctic tern (path closed in nesting season, mid-May-July), as well as other seabirds. |
