Keltic Lodge & Middle Head Trail
Keltic Lodge
A century-old red-roofed hotel on Middle Head, jutting out into the sea. The Middle Head Trail starting here offers views of the bays on both sides.
The Keltic Lodge is the most famous resort hotel on Cape Breton. Its white-walled, red-roofed building stands on Middle Head, with the North and South Ingonish bays on either side. The Middle Head Trail begins behind the hotel. The round trip is about 4 km, passing through spruce forest to the cliffs at the tip of the headland, where seabirds and whales are often seen. You don't have to stay at the hotel to walk the trail or to sit in the restaurant with tea and watch the sea. The famous Highland Links golf course is next door.
