A true inland sea that divides the island in two and that communicates, in the north, with the Atlantic through two channels: the Great Bras d'Or and the Little Bras d'Or. This vast expanse of salt water is the domain of the bald eagle. The Micmac tribes had very early settled on its shores, the waters of the lake abounding in trout and salmon. There are several Mi'kmaq communities near the lake, including Whycocomagh. The Bras d'Or Lakes Scenic Drive, identified by a bald eagle, allows you to drive around the lake.
