Mira River
Located in eastern Cape Breton and just a 20 minute drive south of Sydney, NS, the Mira River is a tidal river known for its Brown Trout and Striped Bass fishing. You'll often find likeminded anglers trying their luck at Marion Bridge. A scenic drive east along the southern shore of the river will take you to Mira River Provincial Park, where you can access a public boat launch during the Park's seasonal hours, as well as a Barrier Free Fishing site from a sandy shoreline area. This river is also close to Gabarus Wilderness Area, historical Fortress of Louisbourg, and a number of coastal beaches on Cape Breton's eastern shores.
