Get ready for a real Cape Breton adventure to find this hidden gem, a spectacular waterfall tucked deep in the woods. Your journey starts on a wide path that soon narrows, leading you through a lush forest, over rustic bridges, and across a couple of babbling streams. The final approach gets your heart pumping with a steep, rope-assisted descent, but the reward is the breathtaking sight and sound of the powerful Humes River Falls. The whole trek is about 10-11 km (around 6.8 miles) and takes most folks 2.5 to 3 hours, so pack some water and snacks for this memorable backcountry hike.
