While camping in Cheticamp at National Park Campground, my wife and I hike a few trails on this side of the National Park. One of the trails was Corney Brook. The trail began on the other side of the road from the parking lot. It was nice, wide trail allowing two people to walk side by side, well maintained, that followed the brook all the way to the falls. After hiking the trail, we went to the Corney Brook Campground, then down to the beach for a swim. Note: the brook is colder than the ocean. Nearby is the Cap Rouge and Veterans Monument where you can take the postcard picture of the Cabot Trail. Later that day we hiked the Skyline Trail and the Bog. These two trails are the most popular hiking trails in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park.  At the Skyline Trail, besides some great views,  we managed to see some spruce grouse on the trail.  At the Bog Trail, lots of pitcher plants ,water lilies, and orchids.
