Bras d’Or Biosphere Trails

Bio

Spanning more than 3,500 square kilometers, the Bras d'Or Lake and its surrounding watershed encompass a diverse landscape of forests and aquatic ecosystems at the heart of Cape Breton Island. Contrary to its name, the Bras d'Or Lake isn't a typical lake or inland sea; rather, it functions as an estuary where fresh and salt waters blend harmoniously. This estuarine environment constitutes 31% of the Biosphere, while the remainder consists of the watershed consists of 1,000-kilometer coastline.
