Why choose a trail at Black Brook Falls?

The Black Brook Falls is a waterfall located in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. It is part of the Black Brook, which flows from the highlands of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality to the Atlantic Ocean. The falls are situated on the edge of the Black Brook Gorge, a deep and narrow ravine. They are reached by a short hike from the parking area, and offer a spectacular view.

The Black Brook Falls are a series of five waterfalls, the tallest of which is about 30 metres (100 feet) high. The water plunges over a rocky cliff into a pool below, then continues downstream. The falls are best seen in the spring, when the water is high. In the summer, they can be quite dry.

The Black Brook Falls are a popular tourist attraction, and are well worth the short hike to see them.
