A world class trail coming to Cape Breton to help boost the tourism experience.

The federal government is investing $3 million to Inverness County to build a 50km seawall in the northern highlands within the Polletts Cove-Aspy Fault Wilderness Area.

There will be overnight huts along three sites.

Hikers will travel with guides for four days hut to hut, along with seasonal activities.

The Jajiktek Seawall Trail is being built to attract visitors all year round to help boost tourism for businesses nearby.

Warden Bonny MacIsaac says is it a “flagship tourism anchor project”.

“This multi-day hiking experience will not only showcase our region’s unparalleled natural beauty but also generate significant economic opportunities for our communities.”

MacIsaac says, together, with their partners they are building something “truly special”.
