We will be in Northern Maine later this summer and then going from Eastport Maine into Canada and over to Nova Scotia. Can anyone recommend places to stay in Nova Scotia as well as when we leave there we will go up to the St. Lawrence river and travel west toward the center of New York. Any suggestions on where to stay or what to see on this trip would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. John Weber

If you have time it is worth it to visit Prince Edward Island.

We were up that way in June. The places we loved the most were 1) Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, right on the Bay of Fundy. Great camp sites and stuff to see. Highest tides in the world. 2) On Nova Scotia, we stayed in Baddeck, which is on Cape Breton Island, which is the northern part of NS. Our spot was at the Baddeck Cabot Trail Campgound. Great place to stay. We drove the Cabot Trail, which is one of most scenic drives in the world...just leave your Monty in camp, and drive it CLOCKWISE!! The fortress at Louisburg was also a hit. 3) We then took the ferry from Pictou to Woods Island, PEI. Stayed in a great camp in New Glascow, called the New Glascow Higlands Campground. It is a stones throw from Green Gables, of "Anne of Green Gables" fame. By the way, the ferry going on to PEI is FREE, if you are going one way. You only pay to leave the island! When you do leave the island, drive off on the Confederation Bridge back to New Brunswick. That cost us just over $40, but cheaper than the return on the ferry. All in all, great scenery, great lobsters, great time!!

We were there last year but also went across to Newfoundland. It was great. You can find pictures on our blog in the journal called Newfoundland.
