Cape Breton Highlands National Park is a Canadian national park on northern Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia.[2] The park was the first national park in the Atlantic provinces of Canada[3] and covers an area of 948 square kilometres (366 sq mi).[4] It is one of 42 in Canada's system of national parks.
It consists of mountains, valleys, waterfalls, rocky coastlines and the Cape Breton Highlands, a tundra-esque plateau. Forest types include Acadian and Boreal. The park includes the highest point in Nova Scotia, White Hill, at 533.5 m (1,750 ft) above sea level.
Rivers in the park include the Chéticamp River and the North Aspy River.
In 2014, Parks Canada started a four-year project with the Unama'ki Institute of Natural Resources, among other partners, to begin regional boreal forest restorations within this park.
