Reviews of Uisge Bàn Falls Provincial Park (Tourist Attraction)

Breathtaking

Michelle Carkner

Carried my baby in a carrier and faired well! Heavily shaded with scents of evergreen wafting through the air. The sound of gentle rushing water the whole way. Such a highlight on our trip.

Della Slade

Beautiful trail; not difficult... well worth the effort... !

Kevin Cisaroski

This little out-of-the-way park is a fun way to spend a couple hours of hiking. The trail is challenging in some sections, very rocky, not for everybody, but worth the climb to see the beautiful waterfall at the top. The side loop trail was closed when we hiked it due to the lower bridge not being in place so no way to cross the river. Bring bug dope, the black flies are out in full force. The trail follows the river up the hill so lots of places to get down to the water.

Brooks MacDonald

Great hike. Needs some work near the falls themselves.

Chris Hoare

Love it here, moderate hike on a hot day, not hard. The falls are beautiful and with the visit. The path to the upper falls is very steep, hidden, and not for people who are unsure of footing or balance.

Ryan Sull

An all around beautiful hike

Harold Nolte

Nice real easy 1.5 mile walk to the falls. The falls are nice to see, worth the hike. They would be more spectacular when there's more water but still worth the hike when the water volume is low.

Tyler Buttle

Great!

Cindy Woodhead

Fantastic little hike with a beautiful reward at the end!

Leah M

Wonderful, easy hiking trail with a great waterfall at the end. The River trail is currently closed, but there's great native wildflowers and views even so. A bit rocky and muddy so be prepared.

Beautiful hike in to a great waterfall.

Michael Estes

This is my favorite waterfall on the island. I visit multiple times a year, and it never fails to impress. The falls are beautiful, of course, but the hike out has it's own magic. It's a relatively easy hike until the large bridge near the end. After that point it does become more difficult, but it's only a short distance from there until Uisge Ban.

Dimitris Protsios

Although you can't do the full trail, all bridges are closed, you can enjoy the main feature, the water falls. It's a all hike to the falls and many spots close to them to splash a bit in the water. Beautiful, relaxing and rejuvenating place.

Foucault Effect

What a beautiful hike this was! It can be challenging for anyone with mobility issues, be careful when you get to the end under the falls if you plan to take pictures as it's quiet slippery and has lots of offset footing.

Amy Eileen

Love this hike. Beautiful area.

Jessica Huynh

It took 1 hour of driving from Sydney, Nova Scotia to this falls. Hiking and camping are good choices for a family getaway weekend!

bri

Very easy trail to walk, a little tough on the end, more so rocky. Nice little waterfall, about 30 mins walk in.

Troy Schulthies

Beautiful hike not too long and well worth it

James Gauthier

Very nice park and waterfalls to check out in the city. Although if your not from the area you definitely need to follow the signs and not the map, almost got lost. Beautiful spot but be careful of the pot holes and the dirt road.

Jason

Drop what you're doing and visit these falls...it's a truly delightful 1,200m (one way hike) though a lovely enchanted forest...well worth the visit! if only the road there was just as nice....

Bronwen Thomas

Beautiful and easy hike

This fall is amazing in colors during fall season! Best time would be the 10-20 of October in my opinion depending in the weather and how cold it is .the colours are popping and you think that you are in the heaven. Really short hike to the fall and easy. About 20mins drive from baddeck and some part of the road is not paved But you van drive with any car. Please take care of out nature and do not litter. Treat as it’s yours! Enjoy!

Cristi Yorke

Nice hike into a magical place.

Tristin Wall

Beautiful winter hike. Not too long only about an hour both ways.

Tara Deveaux

Love this place. great hiking year round

Samantha Jackson

Beautiful walk. Flies are thick this time of year so bring bug spray!

Anne L

It was a great hike! The river trail was closed due to washouts so we took the other way. It was all tree covered, almost no sun. The tree root systems were all over, so you have to watch your footing. The ground wasn't level, but there were no sharp inclines. It's best for kids 5+ but younger would be fine with help. We did get snacked on by some flies, so bug spray would have been nice. In my opinion the actual waterfall wasn't spectacular but I really enjoyed the journey.

Alicia Penney

gorgeous trail, not too difficult for beginners. some unique flora and fungi to be seen along with beautiful views

Mad McDuff

Nice walk, beautifull nature

James Beeler

Beautiful falls, very easy to find. Walking trail pretty much right up till the falls.

T. Horn

A lovely hike. Not too strenuous so fairly suitable for all levels of casual hiking. We first took the direct route to the Falls, but on the way back, took the River loop. Gorgeous scenery. Couldn't help thinking, every view is a postcard.

Brian Willis

Love this hike through the forest of Cape Breton. Great for beginners of most ages. The falls are a beautiful place to see. Takes from 45 to 90 minutes start to finish.

Christophe Brouhon

An easy trail, quite some closures so only way of getting in and out (both the startpoint and the falls) is using the same path in both directions. Clean toilets at the start of the trail. No special shoes needed. The falls are gorgeous!

Pham Van

Nice and easy drive/hike in, and is well marked. The forest energy was pleasant on the hike in, with some profound trees that somehow grew right ontop of rocks/boulders. The trickiest part here was climbing up the side to see the actual waterfall. You'll see some footing from others, but it isn't exactly marked.

Asrar Haq-Montford

Such a beautiful place to go for a hike!

Alen Joe Francy

Scenic view at its best

Luke Hachey

A dramatic glimpse into the highland water cycle. Water descends the impressive falls from the boreal plateau, and the well drained soils of the steep slopes support a canopy of deciduous leaves in summer. That's how you get a shady valley to enjoy an easy walk to the perfect pondering place.

Tammy Aucoin

Great hike no matter the season! Awesome hike with the kids as it's not a relatively long hike and get a bonus waterfall at the end. They even plow the road to the provincial park in the winter so you can snowshoe!

iris shea

Such a beautiful place for a relaxing hike. The trails are so welcoming. The falls are so mesmerizing. Nature at its finest.

Rob Martin

Lovely hike to a waterfall. Difficult level at the falls.

Alex Vowell

It's a short and easy hike to do if you're in the Baddeck area. It took us about 1hr 45mins to complete the full loop, if you just go to the falls it's probably 45mins to do a there and back hike. The trail has some nice views and great scenery, so its well worth it if you have the time.

Emma

Amazing place to go! But follow road signs if they differ from Google Maps directions.

JAYA PAGAR

Beautiful place ????????

Barb Amati

Not for inexperienced hikers, nature walkers or seniors. It may be beautiful when you reach the falls, if you make it to the falls. Maps are difficult to understand and trails are poorly marked. Very swampy in some areas so have proper hikers footwear.

Charlene Chiasson

Easy trail to follow. Right now Aug. 2020 they are updating the trail surface. New gravel etc. It will be very nice to walk on. Falls were good. Water clear. Worth the walk in!

Robbie Key

Easy stroll through the woods. Water levels are low this time of year, but still a nice walk. Recommended hiking any season. Takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the trail.

Dave Burton

Bit of a hike and Google maps to drive there from Baddeck led us to a strange place where we actually had to hike to the park but the falls themselves were impressive.

Krysten MacLeod

Views were stunning, park part needs work though. Careful where you step and this place is beautiful.

Kendall McNeil

Hiked the falls in February, 2019. We hiked in using snowshoes with no poles. Some trials were closed and some bridges were out. Other than that the main falls trail was open for exploring. The river was frozen over but we were careful not to stumble too close to the suspected water's edge. Great get away for the day and beautiful drive in from Sydney.

nashwa assi

Nice waterfalls The trail to them is good and easy just become little tough toward the end with big rocks

Scott Iredale

Worth the walk in. The falls were impressive

Jerry Hughes

Was a beautiful hike want to go again

shawn currier

It's a beautiful hike. The end of the trail is amazing

Lillah lydia kaz

Beautiful site

thehalligantool !

Easy walk with a great payoff. The falls are beautiful. Nice parking area with two vault toilets available.

Laudav Hutcheon

BEAUTIFUL ❤️

Allan McPhee

Nice easy hike in. Most of the trail is new and wide.

Marc Melanson

Very nice waterfall. Wish they fixed the river trail.

Melissa Thomas

Well-maintained Trail, absolutely gorgeous scenery. I am definitely going back to see what it looks like with snow all over the ground and trees!

T Seward

Well groomed trail ending at a scenic waterfall.

Uthpala M

Nice small hike, enjoyed walking in the woods. Half of the trail was closed.

Eileen MacKinnon

Lovely walk in along river trail that loops round to falls..

Josephine Robinson

I went in the winter, great place for snowshoeing. Be careful close to the falls. It can look as if it's just snow sometimes, but dont walk off the trail. Theres a river under all that snow.

Erin Campbell

Beautiful wooded trail. Easy walk. Great for kids! Outhouses and picnic tables at the trail parking lot.

Melanie LeBlanc

Love this park. Beautiful waterfalls, and trail. Trail is rooty and rocky in some areas.

Ela Nisrin

Short easy hike to a beautiful 3-cascade waterfall. Hiked in May, where still some trails were closed or under water or slippery. Better to go with rubber boots. For photographers the waterfall offers many possibilities for long-term exposures. Sadly, it's difficult to get the 3-casade in one shot. The trails are completely in a forest, which gives partly a mystical impression like being in the movie 'Lord of the rings'. It's worth it.

Christy Falke

Lovely hike in New Harris, Nova Scotia. At the end is a gorgeous waterfall. Breath taking my beautiful!

Courtney Tucker

Beautiful and well-maintained!

Grimmjow 6 Ahmed Foysal

It was an awesome hike. Weather was a bit cold today. Will try again at a better day.
