Colliery Lands Park
A great family fishing destination, Colliery Lands Park offers a welcoming outdoor experience centered around its stocked pond and scenic surroundings. Located in the historic coal-mining community of New Waterford, the park provides visitors with the opportunity to combine a fishing trip with a broader Cape Breton experience. After spending time at the pond, visitors can explore local shops and restaurants, learn about the community's rich industrial heritage, or take a short drive to nearby coastal lookoffs and beaches. The park's central location makes it an easy stop while touring the Cape Breton Regional Municipality, offering a relaxed outdoor experience close to both urban amenities and Atlantic coastal attractions.
