Some great snowshoeing spots near the Ingonish Visitor Centre include:
· Clyburn Valley Trail
· Freshwater Lake Trail
· Middle Head
· Highlands Links
· Warren Lake, which is on the other side of Ingonish, is also a popular area for snowshoeing.
· Mica Hill, if you wish to venture further into the park up on the plateau, but we recommend carrying a GPS device and being familiar with topographical maps.
Ask the Visitor Centre staff for recommendations when you pick up your gear!

To make the most of the magic of winter, it is important to plan ahead and prepare for the weather. Winter essentials include plenty of snacks and drinking water, as well as plenty of layers of clothing
Trails are not maintained during the winter in Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
Visitors are reminded that dogs must be on leash at all times in the national park.
Other important information :
● There are no visitor services in the park during the winter months.
Be sure to check road condition reports in advance and check our social media pages for updates.
● Be prepared for sudden changes in weather conditions, especially along the coast and on the plateau. Be aware of windy conditions while on the trails, as snow build-up can cover your tracks and make it more difficult for you to get to your destination.
● Visitor washrooms are available at the Ingonish Visitor Centre when picking up your gear and pit privies along the trails can be used (may become inaccessible after heavy snowfalls). Visitor washrooms are also available at the Chéticamp Visitor Centre.
● Expect Cape Breton hospitality in the communities along the Cabot Trail, where visitors are welcomed year-round to experience the local Acadian, Gaelic and Mi'kmaq cultures. Keep in mind, however, that many businesses are seasonal. Be sure to book your accommodation in advance and call to find out the hours of operation of restaurants and other services, as options may be limited in the winter.
● The priority for snow removal is the Cabot Trail route, so trail parking lots may not be cleared immediately after heavy snowfalls. ... See MoreSee Less
