Once called "Horsetail Falls" these spectacular cascades were renamed Beulach Ban Falls, which is Gaelic for "White Gorge". Nestled within the protected borders of Cape Breton Highlands National Park, this short side trip along your journey around the world famous Cabot Trail is a must-see. Detailed maps are available when you enter the Park.
