I have taken the time to order Nova Scotia’s Waterfalls that I have visited and posted about on this site in order of smallest to largest. The height is created by first-hand views of these Waterfalls and based on the largest drop whether it is a 90-degree fall or a smaller angled cascade. Some locations have multiple drops, the biggest drop is represented. Included alongside each waterfall is additional information including distance (round trip in meters or kilometers), whether you can swim or jump at your own risk, and my impressions of the difficulty of the trek based on terrain, not length. Easy, Medium, and Hard. Important to note that ‘easy’ is predominately flat, ‘medium’ has spots of difficult terrain, and ‘hard’ has a combination of both easy and medium along with a more difficult terrain that may require the use of your hands (most locations as such has ropes present)
