Egypt Falls

The photo scarcely does these beautiful falls justice. Located off Egypt Road in the Margaree area of Cape Breton Island, these falls are about 60ft across and are wider than they are tall. The hike in is only about 1 km but drops about 80 meters over the course of that 1 km. Towards the end there is a rope available to assist in the climb down to the Matheson Glen Brook. The trail is well marked but very rough in spots. Once down the falls make the climb worthwhile. Relax and enjoy the spectacular view... and be prepared for the uphill climb on the way out.!
