Tour 37 Mira / Louisbourg

Distance: 103 km (64 miles)(shorter tour possible)

Starting Point: Mira Gut Provincial Park; Mira Gut

Region: Cape Breton

Terrain: Flat to gently rolling

A myriad of islands, numerous peninsulas and sheltered coves, this tour guides you along one of the longest and most attractive rivers in Nova Scotia. The slow and tranquil Mira provides easy shoreline cycling within an atmosphere of solitude. Occupying an elongated, narrow valley, the Mira is thought to follow an old fault line.

Long been considered an easy canoe route, for cycling, it's shoreline still lies largely undiscovered. Despite its proximity to the Fortress of Louisbourg, it remains almost unknown by outsiders.
