Ben Eoin Provincial Park

Ben Eoin Provincial Park extends along the shores of Bras d'Or Lake, featuring hiking trails through forests and access points to the water's edge.

The park received its official designation on February 11, 1975, becoming an integral component of Nova Scotia's network of protected natural spaces.

The park stands within the traditional territory of Mi'kmaq people, who maintain strong connections to the Bras d'Or Lake watershed through generations.

Visitors can access multiple hiking paths and water recreation areas through the main entrance, with parking facilities available near the trailheads.

The park functions as a gateway to the Bras d'Or Lake Biosphere Reserve, where saltwater estuaries merge with forested hills creating distinct ecological zones.
