Margaree Forks refers to the meeting of the different branches of the
Margaree River, one which starts in Big Intervale, the other at Lake
Ainslie. It is also the meeting of the Cabot Trail and route #19
which would take you to Southwest Margaree or Inverness via
Dunvegan.
It's a way station with some of the services you might
need; gas and mechanics, groceries/spirits/cash machine at the
Co-op, a funky antiques shop, a public library and cap site/internet
access, and a convenience store.
For visitors who want to try their
luck, there's trout fishing at Old Miller's Trout Farm; there's also
an Visitor Information Centre and a lovely little park where you can
relax close to the river.
There's accommodation and spa treatments
at the Margaree Lodge Resort. Beside the visitor centre, there's
also a gift shop with fisher's supplies.
