MacIntosh Brook Falls Cape Breton Highlands National Park

A mass of water flows over the rocky ledges to create the picturesque scenery of MacIntosh Brook Falls in Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia, Canada.

With great fury, the MacIntosh Brook Falls along the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia, cascades over the rock ledges to the pool below. When MacIntosh Brook Falls runs at a slow pace, it is possible to hike over the rocks to get a good view but when the falls are racing, standing back to enjoy their beauty is the only option.

Cape Breton Highlands National Park is one of the most exceptional wilderness regions throughout Canada consisting of woodland, tundra, bogs and an abundance of wildlife.
