COOL monumental task of visiting all the beaches on cape breton theres so many nice swim spots places to have a picnic or go for a walk if you just stop at you see driving along the roads around the island
Locals call Dalem Lake Round Lake. My family used to live in George’s River, across from Groves Point, overlooking the lake. We were out boating one summer day, and watched a deer swim across from the Groves Point side. It was quite beautiful. Another time, during a cold winter which had frozen over the lake, we watched at least 15 bald eagles eating something on the ice. At the time, they were supposed to be almost extinct. It was great to see so many of them in one spot.
Thank you for watching the video! As well, thank you for sharing your deer and eagle observations. ❤️ sightings like these make for incredible memories.
So, its something that people argue about, but its actually technically both an estuary and an inland sea. Well, parts of it anyway. The reason it qualifies as an inland sea is because it has multiple access points to the ocean. Both the river you cross in big bra d'or and the seal island bridge are two of the three access ways to the ocean, and the seal island bridge area is just straight sea water. So the area around big Bra d'or is an estuary, but the 'lake' as a whole is a sea. It's not even the only misnomer, since Cape Breton Island isn't an island, but a collection of islands. Also, worth noting, there's a second swim area at Groves Point. If you follow the dirt road further down there's a few loops for parking at the fields, and you can park at the top of the second swim area further down. It is rockier there though.
You’re right, it is definitely a topic of debate. Now that I think of it, I also recall reading that it could be considered a gulf. Whatever we call it, it’s beautiful :)
Me and my kids and friends of their and go often until we see Leech's or it's closed due to bacteria which I hear about the Dominion beach(ocean tidal waters) has bacteria This year 🙄 but not the stagnant Lake that it happens to yearly🤔 lol
Loved the video and lesson on the history of the Bras d"Or lake(s). Fascinating.
