The largest communities located on Bras d’Or Lakes are the villages of Baddeck, Eskasoni, Little Bras d’Or, St. Peter’s and Whycocomagh. Remaining parts of lake shoreline are largely rural with some
farming.
General Interest:
Famous inventor Alexander Graham Bell made his summer\retirement home in Beinn Bhreagh (“Beautiful Mountain” in Scottish Gaelic), a lakeside community near the village of Baddeck. It is because of Bell’s connection to this area that the Bras d’Or
 Lake and Beinn Breagh and\or Baddeck routinely get featured in National Geographic maps showing eastern North America.

Local Interests
Use the property’s private slipway to launch your boat or enjoy the sights and sounds from the private dock located at the water’s edge. . . Relax on the hammocks while listening to the wind rustling through the canopy of leaves of massive silver oaks and red maples or the soft bubbling of the brook flowing past.
Take a bike ride through the historic village of Marble Mountain and visit the museum and discover the history of mining in the area, then hike up the mountain and see the remnants of a once viable marble quarry. Ride down to the beach for a picnic or swim.
Treat yourself to a night of dining at the Cape Breton Smokehouse where salmon is smoked on site with their own smoking facility !
