What a unique spot. The brook flows down through the ravine and bleeds into the ocean. Just mere metres from the waves crashing is a small 10 foot 90 degree plunge fall feeding the last few metres of the brook before flowing into the ocean. Just around a small alcove is a secret gem of Cape Breton called the “Fairy Hole” and/or “Kluscap’s Cave”.
Important Information – This waterfall is at the end of 1.5km human trafficked trail in Cape Dauphin. The last 100ms are tricky but rope is provided for safe passage. You should a lot yourself for a few hours here as it is truly an amazing spot. You will have the chance to swim here in the ocean and to jump off an ocean side cliff or into the cave. When you reach the shoreline the cave is to your right and just passed the cave on the sharp corner is a great cliff to jump off of. Do so at your own discretion. The trailhead is located at the end of New Campbellton Rd. on the left hand side. Do not go right as that is private property. Follow the trail straight until you reach the brook. Turn right just before you reach the stream and soon you will come to the section with ropes there to assist your descent. Once you reach the bottom of the ravine head downstream towards the ocean on the left hand side. You will first reach the falls then the ocean.
Directions – This waterfall is located in Cape Dauphin at the end of New Campbellton Rd. on your left. If you are travelling from Halifax you will want to jump on Highway 102 (Veteran’s Memorial Highway) travelling towards Truro. When you reach Truro you will take Exit 15W towards Cape Breton via Highway 105 (Trans Canada Highway). Following Highway 105 all the way over the Canso Causeway and through Cape Breton to an area called New Harris. You will turn left onto New Campbellton Rd at the bottom of a hill off Highway 105 just before Seal Island Bridge. Follow this road to its conclusion and find the trailhead on your left.
