Cabot Trail Totally Explained

Everything about Cabot Trail totally explained

The Cabot Trail is a Canadian highway located in the province of Nova Scotia on Cape Breton Island. It is also the name of a provincial government-designated "Scenic Route" for tourism-marketing purposes. The route is 298 km long and completes a loop around the northern tip of Cape Breton Island, passing along and through the scenic Cape Breton Highlands. It is named after the explorer John Cabot who landed in Atlantic Canada in 1497, although most historians agree his landfall was likely Newfoundland, not Cape Breton. Construction of the initial route was completed in 1932.
   The northern section of the Cabot Trail passes through Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The western and eastern sections follow the rugged coastline, providing spectacular views of the ocean. The southwestern section passes through the Margaree River valley before passing along Bras d'Or Lake.
   The Cabot Trail is the only trunk secondary highway in Nova Scotia which doesn't have a signed route designation. Road signs along the route instead have a unique mountain logo.
   The road is internally referred to by the Department of Transportation and Public Works as Trunk 30. It is open year-round.
