Ingonish Visitor Centre (Cape Breton Highlands National Park)

East-side park gateway with passes, trail info and interactive exhibits.

service· Ingonish, NS · ★ 4.60 (207 reviews)

The Ingonish Visitor Centre handles travellers approaching Cape Breton Highlands National Park from the eastern (Cabot Trail) side. Smaller than Chéticamp's centre but with the same essentials: park passes, trail maps, restrooms and a small gift shop.

Staff post current trail conditions on a board near the entrance — useful for the Skyline, Franey and Middle Head trails which can be closed for moose activity or weather. The parking lot is large enough for travel trailers.
