Salt Mountain Trail is located in the Whycocomagh Provincial Park. The trail and associated camping sites are maintained by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The popular trail is well-marked and is steep in places. The views up the Skye River valley and over the Bras d’Or Lake are spectacular. The park is open from mid-June to mid-October. Although considered a seasonal trail, it is suitable all year for either walking or snowshoeing despite the lack of winter maintenance. Access to water and restrooms is seasonal. A plaque on the trail commemorates the donation of Salt Mountain by Isabel Stewart Farley in memory of her brother Hugh McLennan who was killed during World War 1.
