Turn right onto HWY202 and drive 9.7km then turn left onto Tom Barron Road. Drive approximately 600m and park off the side of the road.
TRAIL DESCRIPTION: bushwhack down to the brook, and hike upstream. The fringe along the brook is fairly clear of deadfall and covered in a thick carpet of moss which makes the hike somewhat easier.
Two small cascades, each of about 4 feet in height, these are not the most spectacular falls in Nova Scotia but the sheer beauty of the moss draped woods surrounding this location, and the peaceful moss covered outcroppings at the falls are perfect spots to sit and enjoy the babbling brook.
