Some 120 kilometers
in lenght, the Margaree River rises and flows swiftly through
the scenic Cape Breton Highlands, meandering through meadows
and wetlands before emptying into Northumberland Strait. It
is world renowned for its Atlantic salmon, providing a sound
economic base for both fishing and tourism, as well as nearby
farming and forestry. In recognition of its representation of
Nova Scotia's natural, cultural and recreational heritage,
the Magaree was included in the Canadien Heritage Rivers System
in August, 1991.
