Description

Added by Brogan Bentley

Two waterfalls, one river in Canning, Nova Scotia.

This isn't much of trail so be prepared to bushwhack. If you pull over at the end of Old Baxters Harbour Road, you'll see a sign and a map outline of the trails. You just have to follow the stream, go right you get to Black Hole Falls, and go left you get to Haunted Falls and the shore.

To get to Haunted Falls, there is a small rock climb. The ropes are already there and are secure but you can always bring your own ropes just in case. If the tide is out you can walk through the cove and get to the shore.

Black Hole falls has a great little area you could hop in to cool off if the rain has been heavy prior.

Amethyst Cove

You start by going on the same trail that you would if you were doing the Cape Split hike but not far in the woods you turn right and follow the orange flags. The hike itself is maybe 20 minutes uphill and then you come to the decent down the cliff that will take you to the shore. At the top there's a bucket full of gloves people have left there in case you forgot your own! The ropes are secure...

Hike Cape Split Trail

This is a Nova Scotia classic and a well-known hike. The trailhead has been recently upgraded by the province so parking is no longer a major concern. There is a nice picnic area at the parking lot, but I recommend hauling your lunch to the point - it is a much more scenic picnic spot!The trail starts in the woods, with a few sneak-peek views off the sides of the trail, but the real money is th...

Backpack to Goose River Beach

The Goose River trail is part if the Fundy Footpath and starts in the Fundy National Park. You can reach the Park from both Alma or Saint-Martins, New Brunswick. In the park, follow Point Wolf road for 8km until you reach the parking lot where you can leave you car for the night. Don't forget to buy your park pass at the entrance and to reserve your camping spot at the head office (or online). ...

Explore Dickson Falls in Fundy National Park

Every day during the summer, Dickson Falls in Fundy National Park, sees many hikers, families and tour busses passing by. The short hike is perfectly adapted to children and groups and it is very well maintained. Half of the trail consisted of a four feet wide boardwalk with stairs (a lot of stairs) and railings. On the first intersection onto the trail, take a left for the longer and more inte...

Hike to Chutes Third Vault

The hike begins as a flat path through dense forest. About 1.5 miles in, the trail steepens to go almost straight down. There are several manmade steps to make it a bit easier. Near the bottom you walk through the river a bit until turning a corner to see the gorgeous, cascading falls on your left. We happened to have the entire place to ourselves which made an already magical place even better...

Hike Upper Salmon River

We suggest you bring a few friends and drive to Fundy National Park with two cars. Leave one car at the park headquarters near Alma and drive up to the Laverty falls parking lot where you will start your hike. If you only have one car and wish to do an out-and-back hike, start at headquarters. First part: The Forks The hike starts at the Laverty Falls parking lot. There will most likely be a l...
