Adventure seekers, outdoor enthusiasts, and the young at heart, fill your boots! From the glacial cut mountains to the sea, Chéticamp's natural landscape offers a lifetime of experiences.
With a unique tapestry of Acadian forest, arctic taiga, boreal forest, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Chéticamp and the surrounding area is a nature lover’s paradise - home to a mix of species not found anywhere else in the world. Come face to face with one of the ever present moose on the Skyline Trail, watch the gannets’ Olympic worthy diving feats, or search for orchids in some of North America’s last remaining old growth hardwood forest.
Want to get even more active? Experience cycling the hills of the world famous Cabot Trail, sea kayaking along the dramatic rocky coast, or floating through a pod of pilot whales on one of Chéticamp’s three whale watching boats. Or, why not saddle up for a sunset ride along the beach, pull out your kite or board and take advantage of our famous winds, or try your hand at hooking a wild Atlantic salmon on the picturesque Chéticamp River. What are you waiting for?
