Reviews of Louisbourg Lighthouse Trail (Massage Therapist)

Cynthia Lindell

Great walking trails, beaches to sit and watch the ocean. Be prepared for the wind.

Frankie Lambe

Beth Kita

Easy walk well maintained trail. beautiful scenery, flora, fauna and breathtaking ocean view.

Rachel

Well maintained for the most part, goes through all kinds of different terrain and has good variety of vegetation.

Lynne Morris

This is a great trail.There is a picturesque lighthouse at the trail head. It has very scenic views of the Atlantic ocean. The first loop is 3 km. There are benches at multiple lookoffs along the trail. For the most part the trail is either wood boardwalk or crusher dust. There are lots of uphill and downhill sections. Highly recommend this trail.

What Beauty.

The Cromwell Brothers

Beautiful walk with amazing views.

Tonia Hartnett

Of easily accessible trails in Cape Breton, this is one of the most scenic.

Derrick Hill

The best place to visit and spend your leisure time here. Hiking experience is pretty good

Dylan Soo

The trail is very long and varied. You could go three days in a row and have a different experience each time, just from the different weather or times of the day.

Breathtaking! Absolutely will not disappoint. Best view in Cape Breton!

This is an absolutely amazing place. So rugged and the waves crashing on the rocks is quite impressive. The trail follows the coastline closely and the view is dynamic. It is well groomed and has little benches placed along the way. Definitely worth visiting!

Kay Holiday

Spectacular views, nice drive to get to the lighthouse

Daniela

Great walking trail with lots of scenic stops.

Georgia Metcalfe Tripp

Be prepared for some wind! This spot is breathtaking; I never tire of it. Especially lovely to watch the evening sun dip west of the lighthouse, on the Fortress side of the harbour (but make sure you get off the trail before dark). The main trail is wheelchair accessible, though it can continue on quite far as more of a game trail to Gooseberry Cove if you cross the pebbly beach at the end.

Shane Hill

Cant say enough. A must see when in the area. The waves crashing amazing. Well maintained paths and grounds but left very natural and undisturbed where it mattered. We love coming here every trip.

Caroline Green

Louisbourg Lighthouse trail is a rugid natural hiking experiance with incredible ocean scenery. It provides hours of enjoyable hiking along the coast. I highly recommend it as a tourist destination.

Very beautiful place. Historic lighthouse located in te site. There is a beautiful trail located here as well. Few camping facilities available too.

It was beautiful but could have been better without the fog. Obviously not the fault of the lighthouse.

Doug Waites

Great little trail with beautiful view

Hannah Young

Nice spot easy trail but very long up to 10k. Very busy and easy for dogs. Lots of side trails and many nice views

RF Diaries

A beautiful scenic walk along the shoreline with fantastic ocean views and of course a rustic amazing lighthouse. There is a leisure 1.5 km hike and a more challenging trek beyond that for more experienced hikers!

Nasha Heson

One of the most beautiful spots in Canada ????. I wish I could live there.

Greg Leloup

Beautiful vistas and great historical insights along 5km of trails by the ocean.

It’s me

This is most likely one of the greatest trails ever. There is so much nature to walk around in and the path is very well mantained this place is a great place to ride your bike or to take a nice long walk in the wilderness. By far one of the best things to do here.

Clayton isajenko

A great trail for both young and old alike. Nice for families , lots to see, great place for pictures

Mike Howse

The oldest lighthouse on the east coast and the water crashing on the rocks was just outstanding.

Mirosław Ławczys

Very beautiful lookout! We didn't go on the trail bit it looked like a nice walk.

Peter James

Beautiful!

John Hill

A spectacular fall day hiking this trail; I was the only person who hiked out to Lorraine Head the day I was there...beautiful rugged scenery. Not a particularly difficult hike.

Judy Hussey

A beautiful trail along the Atlantic leading back to Louisbourg from the Fortress. Get a different view of the Fortress and take a sear in one of the Parks Canada red chairs and listen to the ocean crash up on the shore.

Tara Deveaux

Its a beautiful spot. Off the beaten path. Nice gravel trail and picture perfect views of the ocean and light house. Worth the stop

Stewart Dueck

Beautifull . Symply beautifull and lots of history

Matthew Gardiner

Chris Sherren

Absolutely beautiful spot, will definitely be going back ????

Nice lighthouse on a national park setting. Trails and views abound. During our trip it was not crowded and a peaceful spot to reflect and enjoy nature.

BRANDAN LEADBEATER (bL3AD)

Absolutely beautiful! Really can feel the "rugged beauty" that nova Scotia can offer

Jin Kim

Great lighthouse, needs some maintenance though. Area has awesome views

R. C.

I enjoyed getting to experience a lighthouse besides Peggy's Cove. The trail is well kept too!

appoint LABS

Great hike...lots of history

Megan L

What a great spot to hike with amazing views

Kyle T

A beautiful blend of coastal and forest views. The trails on the far side of the beach are a bit more challenging, but not overly so

Vitaliy Mark

Take a dirt road down to a light house near the ocean. Be careful as there are cliffs with jagged rocks down below. There are walking trails there and you can see the Fortress on the other side of the bay.

Michelle Scrivener

We walked this trail right after a Noreaster storm, so the seas were especially strong and the waves crashing on the rocks were spectacular. This trail is well maintained and an easy walk. Just over 3 Km for the first loop, but you can extend the walk after you come to a stony beach if you continue to the left. There is no washroom at the start of the trail, but there is one a bit before you come to the Lighthouse. Definitely a trail worth walking.

Janet Shellnutt

Wonderful trail. We loved every single part of this trail. You can enjoy a beautiful sightseeing and the ocean is right there. We had an amazing experience.

C bulla

Gorgeous, especially when stormy.

Michel Bousquet

Elliot Grady

Mike Webster

Wonderful place to go for a hike..nice trails.. beautiful views!

Janet Batstone

Great scenery ! Amazing spot to go for a strut!!

John Rogez

This is a must do trail for anyone who loves in the area or looking to visit! One of our absolute favourites. Be sure to pack water a sweater and sunscreen. The fog rolls in quickly here but the weather can change in a dime. Along the outer perimeters of the trail there isn’t much coverage; and so, be such to take caution and apply sunscreen because you’ll likely get a sun burn. Also the trail goes much further than the rocky beach where most folks stop, but be careful if it rains it often does not dry up as quickly along the enclosed wooded trails so it can become swampy, muddy, messy etc. — but always fun!

Alex Nissen

The trail is very well maintained sloppy in some parts after some rain. But the views and scenery make it worthwhile. I have been there before and will return :-)

Melanie LeBlanc

Historical place. Hopefully you will have better view, not in fog.

Paige Jardine

Very pretty trail.

Arun Sharma

Great hiking trail with beautiful views. If you're checking out the lighthouse or in Louisbourg for the fortress, I definitely recommend taking some time to enjoy the scenery. After checking out Louisbourg fortress my boyfriend and I stopped in hopes for some nice pictures. I didn't know the trail was here but it was a welcome bonus. We had such a wonderful time.

Randi

It's a windy area with awesome sea view. The place is so good.

Christine Glogowski

Beautiful easy trail, perfect for the whole family!

TAMMY Olimer-Lohnes

Great coastal waking trail. The first section of the trail is great for everyone. If you continue past the first beach it gets a bit more rough but views are amazing.

francis hawes

Nice addition to visit to Louisbourg fortress. Beautiful location. Interesting history.
