Middle River

Fall

Spring

The Middle River offers angling experiences for a collection of our trout species - Brook, Brown, and Rainbow - as well as Atlantic Salmon for the short but worthwhile month of October. Aptly named for its central location in Cape Breton, Middle River is situated in and amongst a number of Nova Scotia's favourited rivers to fish, including Margaree, Baddeck, and North River - all of which are within scenic driving distance from one another. Nearby, you can also access Grant's Pond - one of Nova Scotia's Barrier Free Fishing Sites that is stocked by the province with Brook Trout.
