Where's this lookout in Nova Scotia?

Even if I'm right to guess Cabot Trail, where exactly is this?
Can I drive up to this lookout? Any hiking required?
Best Answer
Per this page also from Tourism Nova Scotia, the image appears to be taken on Franey Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
The Parks Canada site describes the trail as a "difficult" 7.4 km loop accessible only on foot:
You climb up and up and your reward is at the top! Large flat rocks give you a nice place to sit and enjoy the 360º views of the entire Clyburn Brook canyon and the Atlantic coastline from Cape Smokey to Ingonish. Gaze back at the mountains, the sheer rocky face of Franey Mountain, or the river winding through the valley, 425 m below. Keep an eye out for wildlife – moose like this habitat too.
I'd also venture a guess that the image was taken with a drone, so your view from the ground is probably not going to be quite as nice.

Here is a screenshot from Google Earth from what appears to be the same location. The white line leading up from the bottom represents a road (Franey Road), which probably isn't a public road you can drive on, at least not all the way to the top.
