Recently I searched for "Myra Road" on Google maps, and found only one,
which is the one I've been acquainted as far back as a quarter-century
ago when took my Scout Troop hiking and camping there. There isn't even
a road of that name in Cape Breton associated with Mira River.
Myra Road goes north from Hwy. #7 (not the 107) and roughly follows the
western side of Porter's Lake, east of Dartmouth. The beginning is on
your left as you approach the community of Porter's Lake from the west.
Before you reach the end of Myra Road, you can see an entry point for
the Crowbar Lake Trail System on your left. But what is perhaps more
intriguing is the woodland trek that I think is referred to in Keith
Lowe's original post. There are trails that continue north, past Fish
Hawk Nest River, past MacKay Lake, eventually to join up with Old
Guysbourough Road that runs east from #102 behind the airport. There are
trails on both sides of West Brook, which flows south into Porter's Lake.
