Uisge Ban Falls
Uisge Bàn Falls
A waterfall park in the valley north of Baddeck. A forest trail of about 1.6 km leads to a 15-metre waterfall.
Uisge Bàn means white water in Scottish Gaelic. The trail follows a tributary of the North Baddeck River through a mixed forest of maples and hemlocks. It is about 1.6 km one way, roughly 30 minutes, and ends at a waterfall about 15 metres high that tumbles down a granite gorge. Entry to the park is free. It is about 20 minutes' drive from Baddeck, making it suitable for a relaxed half-day walk, and the forest is colourful in autumn.
