Le Chemin du Buttereau

Retrace the steps of the Acadian pioneers who travelled this cart path from Le Buttereau, a small settlement of seven families, to Chéticamp.  The open fields and bits of foundations are visible reminders of those hardy settlers.  This trail offers glimpses of the Chéticamp River, old pastures, small mammals and birds.
