Tucked into a quiet corner of Ben Eoin Provincial Park, this short trail offers a peaceful escape with a view you’ll remember. The park itself sits on what used to be farmland, now shaded by hardwood trees and open, neatly mown fields perfect for a picnic or a rest before the climb.
The trail is a gentle out‑and‑back, about 2 km return, climbing through mature birch and beech woodland to a rocky ridge. At the top, a well‑cleared overlook opens up to sweeping views of the Bras d’Or Lake stretched out 165 metres below.
Short, scenic, and low‑effort, the Ben Eoin Trail is perfect for anyone who wants a quick nature fix—or a quiet pause—without straying far from the beaten path.
