North River Falls Trail is a moderate out-and-back route that winds through forest in Nova Scotia’s North River Wilderness Area, leading to the base of the province’s tallest waterfall. The trail closely follows the river in some areas, with uneven footing and muddy sections that make it feel remote and rugged rather than a well-maintained path. Reaching the lookout at the falls is rewarding, especially as the sound and scale of the cascade build steadily as you get closer.

North River Falls is a breathtaking, powerful cascade on the North River in Nova Scotia’s North River Wilderness Area, dropping about 32 metres into a deep, forested gorge. The water tumbles over layered rock in an impressive single plunge, and is especially powerful after rain or during the spring melt. With no nearby development and dense woods surrounding it, the falls are truly special, and you'll likely spend an hour here taking it all in.

Victoria Park is a 1,000-acre woodland park in the centre of Truro, known for its dramatic gorge carved by Lepper Brook and its two waterfalls, Joseph Howe Falls and Waddell Falls. The park blends natural features with historic elements, including stone stairways, wooden bridges, and viewpoints that date back over a century. Forested ravines, towering hemlocks, and a network of easy-to-moderate trails make it one of Nova Scotia’s most distinctive town parks. It’s a popular place for short walks, longer loops, and exploring the waterfalls and steep-sided gorge that define the lower section.

The Crystal Falls Trail is a forested out-and-back route located near Harmony/Greenwood in Nova Scotia. The trail begins off a quiet dirt access road, winds through mature evergreen woods, and leads down to a scenic waterfall and plunge pool. The surface is packed earth with roots and rocks, and the descent into the falls involves a short steep grade, so caution is needed. Expect around 2–4 km round-trip and a moderate elevation change.

This short hike to the waterfalls takes you into a dark, rustic forest. The waterfalls themselves are not very high, but are beautiful to look at. The brave can climb into the water and take a cool dip.

Shortly before the destination, ropes/hand ropes are attached from tree to tree. These are very helpful both when climbing down and when hanging up.

A short path leads from the car park directly to the wide waterfalls. A bridge leads to the other bank, from where you can also admire the falls. Brave people can climb large rocks to get very close to the waterfalls.

This hike is easy and the waterfall is definitely worth it
