DRIVING DIRECTIONS: take Exit11, North onto HWY258. Follow this highway 11km to the village of canning, turning left onto HWY221. Continue another 3.9km and follow to the right onto Black Hole Rd. Drive 10.4km to a sharp left had turn and park off the road here.

TRAIL DESCRIPTION: foloow the well defined tril to the left into the woods. Hike down this trail to the stream crossing. Downstream (to the left) is found Haunted Falls, a spectacular 60 plunge into Black Hole Harbour. Turning upstream (to the right) and hiking up the brook itself will take you to these pleasant falls. The upper fall was not accessed beyond, owing to the huge, sheer cliffs that surround it. The road that continues along from where you crossed the brook goes up the hill, and a short but steep bushwhack at the top of the hill into the ravine will reward with these falls as well
