As you head away from Hunter's Mountain towards Chéticamp Lake you pass through this area which was once the most bountiful moose hunting grounds in Unama'ki (Cape Breton). Now the land is scarred and logs litter the ground like twigs.

Mi'kmaq Rights Holders have halted further logging and construction on Hunter's Mountain to protect their traditional hunting grounds.
