Yesterday we took the ferry back to Nova Scotia. The channel out of Channel-Port aux Basques is not any too wide. That little rocky island is well marked!
This was my last glimpse of Newfoundland.
About six and a half hours later we finished the 110 mile trip to North Sydney, Nova Scotia.
An hour’s additional drive brought us to this large, private campsite at Whycocomagh Provincial Park.
We are not far from the center of Cape Breton Island on an extension of the Bras d’Or Lake (Arm of Gold Lake), which isn’t a lake at all but is, as advertised, Canada’s inland sea.
This morning Matey and I took a walk on one of the park trails and it was immediately obvious that we were not in Newfoundland anymore.
The trail was well marked…
but the construction for wet areas…
or steep hills was lacking.
There were times I wondered if a 74 year old woman and her 14 year old dog should be out here alone. I had to place every step.
But we made it and were rewarded with glimpses of the Bras D’Or Lake. There are overlooks on another trail but that trail is labeled difficult whereas this one was moderate, so we may not get to those.
We walked back on a bit of that trail and it seemed to be more used and a bit better constructed; those are stone steps down this pretty steep slope.
We got our best view of the water from the upper sites in the campground.
Even though I miss the trails of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia has huge oaks…
and maples. It really is pretty nice.
On the Roam Again 
That is a lovely view from the upper part of the campground! Glad you included the map, too, so I can picture just where you are.
