Mount Auburn

Mount Auburn extends across rolling, wooded ground beside Bras d’Or Lake in eastern Nova Scotia, a position that ties this small Cape Breton community to the region’s tidal inland waters. Bras d’Or is an estuarine inland sea connected to the Atlantic through narrow channels, and its watershed forms the UNESCO-recognised Bras d’Or Lake Biosphere Reserve. The wider island is part of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral homeland of the Mi’kmaq, whose presence remains central to Cape Breton’s cultural identity. Quiet rural roads lead through a landscape shaped by forest, shore and changing lake conditions. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Cape Breton Island.
