Anyone travelling the Cabot Trail should stop in here to get good advice on just what you can do in the Margarees, advice on where to find the "crafters" and quilters , the best home made meals , the best music , the best beaches and hiking , and anything local.
The Margaree area is really a rather unique destination, every village has something to offer . It's a great location for extended stays, staycations , especially for those who like to get back to nature and the out doors. Your kids can roam and play and swim in the river or the ocean while you rest all day long .
A campfire by the river ,the lake or the ocean will be a lovely memory event .
Practically every accommodation and dining location is ON THE WATER.
Either on the ocean at Margaree Harbour and Belle Cote , on the river at East Margaree ,Margaree Forks , North East Margaree , Margaree Center or on the three known as Lake O'law.
The various villages along this Margaree Trail all have uniqueness. There are a variety of B&B's cottages, inns, motels and resort like facilities. History buffs can find their family roots and traces of Scottish, Irish, British and French ( Acadian) history by just walking several historic cemeteries dating back to the 1700's.
This area happens to have several things that are rather world famous . The Margaree River is known throughout the world for its trout and salmon fishing . The "fathers" of the cooperative movement ,priests known as Father Coady and Father Tompkins grew up in the Margaree and there is a library ,and a bit of a history collection, in their name. We also have ladies that have a world audience for their quilts or their clay pottery , or their hooked rugs.
Music , that Cape Breton fast fiddle style , is found at several venues and several family names have had a history of producing musicians , names like Chisholm, a new generation of that same family, named Crowley.
