Directions

-Drive north of Ingonish on the Cabot Trail and look for the sign to Mary Ann Falls.
-Drive about 6.5km to the parking area and follow the walkway to the falls.

Trail Description

Follow the well marked trail to the falls. It is a short easy walk with stairs that lead down to the falls.
There are viewing platforms that provide a decent look at the bottom part of the falls. An early morning viewing is best if you want to avoid tourists as this is a popular site. People have been known to use these falls as a water slide. . . I decided against trying this during my visit!
