Gather, Explore, & Connect
Coxheath Hills Wilderness Trail, Cultural Centre, & Community Centre
Nestled in the rolling landscapes of Cape Breton Island, Coxheath Hills is a place where nature, community, and culture come together. It’s a network of scenic trails, a hub for local events, and a space where traditions are shared while new ones take root.
Some come here for the quiet—winding through forests, pausing at a lookout, listening to the wind. Others come for the energy of a gathering, a night of music, or the warmth of a shared meal.
With three venues and a system of curated hiking trails in our protected boreal forest, Coxheath Hills invites you to slow down, take it in, and be part of something bigger.
A Place to Explore
Coxheath Hills Wilderness Trail
Follow the rewarding, winding paths of the Coxheath Hills Wilderness Trail, where towering trees, hidden waterfalls, and scenic look-offs create the perfect escape. Whether you’re here for a morning walk or a challenging hike, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views from the Lodge at the summit – a perfect spot to rest, reflect, and take in the beauty of Cape Breton.

Coxheath Hills Cultural Centre
Just steps away, our Cultural Centre – the former Knox United Church – offers a space for live music, storytelling, and special performances that reflect the spirit of our community. It’s a home for creativity, a place where history is shared, and where new traditions begin.
