As you head for Margaree Harbour on the Cabot Trail, you'll notice the
village of East Margaree on the other side of the river. If you
cross a couple of bridges spanning the Margaree, There's a large
stone church, a credit union, a post office and a convenience store.
If you've got the time, the Larchwood Mill offers tours of its
facility, where butcher-block cutting boards and flooring are
fabricated. If you continue on this side of the river toward
Margaree Forks, you'll experience some of the nicest vistas in the
area.
The river floods the whole area each spring, and leaves
fertile ground for the hayfields scattered along its banks.
