You'll find Northeast Margaree on the Cabot Trail, soon after you
leave the Lake O'Law area, or on your way to Baddeck from Margaree Forks. This settlement is located on a long straight stretch of
road, with St. Patrick's church and the community hall, and a number
of picturesque homesteads.
You should make a point to see the Salmon
Museum, a jewel of a museum if there ever was one. At the Margaree Valley/Cabot Trail junction, check out Two Macs, which is a cute
gift shop with lovely painted mats made by the owner, along with
other Maritime items. There's also The Dancing Goat, a bistro across
the road, which offers coffee, cappuccino, fresh-baked pies, breads,
sweets, and fresh-made sandwiches.
Don't miss the Four Winds
Gallery, run by Josef McKinnon- he's a folk artist who lives and
carves by the roadside on the Cabot Trail; he'd be happy to chat as
you check out his work–look for a yellow log cabin on the north side
of the road.
