April 23, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

Chéticamp (locally [ʃetikɑ̃]) is a fishing village on the Cabot Trail on the west coast of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia at the western entrance to Cape Breton Highlands National Park which contains Acadian Trail. The downtown area overlooks a harbour that is protected from the Gulf of Saint Lawrence by Chéticamp Island. The Cheticamp River flows into the Gulf of St. Lawrence approximately 5 km northeast of the village. Having a number of public facilities it performs a service function for the northernmost part of Inverness County. The community has almost 4,000 residents, a large majority of whom are Acadians and speak French natively. Together with its smaller neighbour, Saint-Joseph-du-Moine, Chéticamp makes up the largest Francophone enclave on Cape Breton Island. The 2006 population was 3,039 people.

Proud To Be Hookers

Reviewed By BenLar137 - Calgary, Canada

If you're thinking about unique Cape Breton souvenir gifts that will be highly prized by the recipients, stop here. It's right on the Cabot Trail, they have good parking, there's no excuse. They have the most beautiful hooked rug products in every price range. Rug hooking is a form of folk art, and a truly historic, traditional craft for this region. We are so glad we stopped in here, as our gift and souvenir buying was done when we walked out. We don't know their seasonal hours, so consult the website if you're travelling off season. They were open early October when we were there.

Acadian Trail

Reviewed By U4991XLmichelc - Cheticamp, Canada

Great hike, kind of like 5 hikes in one.....terrain goes from lush, moss, forest, canopy, to top of mountain open air. Great views of Cheticamp (make sure you do trail counter-clockwise to see views coming back down). Takes about 2-3 hours depending on how fast you go. Wild blueberries on the top! Wonderful hike close to the village of Cheticamp.
