About

The setting sits inland on Cape Breton Island, away from the busier coastal communities.

Pipers Glen Rd in Scotsville marks the address, and the bridge itself gives the swimming hole its name. No opening hours appear on the listing, so the address remains the reference point for finding the spot. The three photos and the Facebook page are the identifiers that accompany the entry.
Cape Breton Island's climate runs to cool summers and cold winters, with June through August the main travel season, so a summer visit suits swimming.

Ferries, bridges and domestic flights bring visitors to Canada's islands, and English and French are the main languages spoken. A swimming hole near Scotsville rewards those exploring the island by car, with Sydney and Baddeck among the towns that anchor a route.
