DESCRIPTION
This provincial park trail is well maintained and has interpretive signs and a map
at the trail head. It begins by passing through both
hard and softwood forests, then follows Falls Brook through a mixed forest.
The trail ends at Uisage Ban falls where the walls of the gorge reach a height
of 150m (500 ft).

An additional trail (loop shown on map) runs along the North Branch Baddeck River, 
eventually connecting the Falls trail before the Falls are reached.

There are pit toilets and picnic tables in the parking area for day-use.  The park
is closed at dusk.
