If you love the "thrill of the hunt" in big-box stores, crave the hustle and flow of big-city life, or need to see the latest film at the local megaplex, then Margaree is NOT for you.

But if you appreciate Celtic music or other authentic cultural events, and the chance to take in our stunning coastline and superb crafters, look no further;
if you like the notion of unwinding on almost-deserted beaches, enjoying fresh lobster, or fly fishing for salmon or trout on a glorious river, then come visit the Margaree River Valley, on Cape Breton Island's spectacular Cabot Trail.

Visit our renowned Salmon Museum, and the historic Fish Hatchery
(the oldest in Nova Scotia) and hiking, skiing or snowmobiling is
spectacular on our trail network.

Spoil yourself with a time out. Slow down and explore our site. You will find a place and a way of life that you know exists, but have not yet experienced.
