Canso Causeway

Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia Adventure Guide 

Canada Parks, Trails and Places

 
Canso Causeway connects Chedabucto Bay to Northumberland Strait. The Strait of Canso separates Cape Breton Island from the mainland of Nova Scotia and the causeway bridges the gap. A canal connects two bodies of water when one body of water is higher than the other. The Canso Canal uses a tidal lock consisting of two sets of gates, to compensate for the difference in water levels. Along the Canso Canal is a pedestrian causeway used for walking, sightseeing and for shore fishing.
