I have a face book group to help share support and information about the 29 different trails around the island that are provided for us to use free of charge , my goal is to challenge others to do the same thing by getting out there and moving and being more active as well here is the group if you want to join link
Lighthouse Trail
Located across the harbour from the Fortress of Louisbourg, the Lighthouse Trail runs along the coastline offering visitors of all skill levels the opportunity for an enjoyable experience. With unsurpassed vistas, this 2 kilometre (1.28 miles) walk leads visitors around a looped trail with interpretive panels explaining the area's significance including its flora and fauna. Beyond this loop is a rugged trail currently being developed by the Coastal Connections Trail Association, an association solely dedicated to this Lighthouse Trail. This rugged section is wet in places and sturdy footwear is recommended. For those who desire to offer some financial support to this Trail Association, you will find a trailhead sign erected each spring and a donation box that enables supporters to contribute to the cost of maintaining the Lighthouse Trail. There are also small wooden donation boxes available at various businesses within the modern community.
To access the trail year-round, locate and travel along Havenside Road, situated in the modern community of Louisbourg and follow the Lighthouse signs. You will note the iconic lighthouse situated on this site. This is the site of the first lighthouse in Canada (1734). Interpretive panels help explain the history of this pivotal spot.

Drone capture of Louisbourg Lighthouse, Nova Scotia, Canada (#NSLighthouseProject)
Filmed on a day when the beacon was shrouded in fog and surrounded by tumultuous waves in May 2016 for our #NSLighthouseProject, experience the coastline, rocky terrain, ocean and lighthouse at Louisbourg, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada.
The lighthouse constructed by the French at Louisbourg was the first established in Canada, and the second on the North American continent. Built near the northeast corner of Cape Breton Island, Louisbourg was the base from which the French planned to hold New France against the English.
Construction began in August of 1731. The circa 70 foot circular tower made of coursed rubble was completed two years later. The first lighting of the lantern was not made until April 1st, 1734.
During the second British seige of Louisbourg, the tower was heavily damaged, particularly so on the evening of June 9, 1758, when British batteries and naval vessels opened a heavy bombardment on Louisbourg. The light was deemed beyond repair and left to disintegrate.
During the 19th century, maritime officials took steps to reduce the many navigational risks and ship wrecks along the Atlantic coast. One of the new lighthouses built was the second for Louisbourg, completed in 1842; however fire destroyed this building in 1922.
The third light at Louisbourg, which is the current beacon, began construction in 1923, and was first lit in 1924; it became automated by 1989.

Louisbourg Lighthouse Trail
The Lighthouse coastal trail is truly amazing and worth taking a peak at. This is a well traveled trail seeing many visitors all season long. Located at the end of Havenside Rd, Louisbourg NS This trail offers a magnificent view of the Atlantic Coast. The trail is pet friendly and great for the entire family. Also, great for snowshoeing, the winter view as you can tell is quite spectacular but bundle up because it can be quite cold but be sure to dress in layers as you can work up quite a sweat. Although it may be tempting, do not venture out onto the black rocks if you do use caution. The ocean currents are very strong in this area and if you fall in it could be quite difficult to get back out. This trail has numerous cobble beaches which offer a wonderful time to sit back and enjoy the view. So, whether you’re trying to beat the hustle and bustle of a busy life or just looking for a free fun filled day with the family this trail is a must! The trail has many benches along the way where you can rest, the trail terrain is moderate, it is graveled and well maintained up until you cross the first cobble beach if you wish to venture that far! If not then simply relax on the beach have some lunch.
This trail is a maintained by volunteers and donations are always welcome and can put deposited in the box at the start of the trail, Happy travels and enjoy!
Louisbourg, Nova Scotia Driving Tour: Fortress To Lighthouse (September, 2018)
Driving tour video connecting the Fortress of Louisbourg with the Louisbourg Lighthouse, along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean on the island of Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, Canada. The tour travels through the fishing village of Louisbourg.
The fortress is a must-see historical site, operated by Parks Canada. This fort, abandoned for nearly two centuries, was reconstructed from the ruins in the 1960's. Previous to that, it was designated a National Historic Site Of Canada in 1920.
The lighthouse is also a must-see and is much less crowded. A beacon has stood as long as the fortress has been around. The current lighthouse (the 4th to be built) dates back to 1923. The views along the rocky coast at this location are quite amazing.

Took a drive to Louisbourg, Nova Scotia to check out the waves near the lighthouse. Hurricane Dorian passed through the area yesterday so, I figured the waves would be pretty epic today.
