The ATV paths that run behind the town of Cheticamp grant somewhat easy access to a number of beautiful waterfalls. The plan for today was to do some of the ones that can be reached up LePlatin road, and though we only managed to get one in before we ran out of time, the day was not a disappointment.
LePlatin road can be found off the Cheticamp Back Road. From the Cabot Trail heading north toward Cheticamp, take the soft right at Flora's gift shop and take another right at LePlatin and park near the end. On foot, continue up the road and down the middle trail. We only had to cross the brook once to find the falls.
Some old building foundations can be found along the brook, and pieces of an old wooden dam remain at the top of the falls. If climbing them, keep your eyes open and don't trip on the metal ties in the rocks from when the dam was in use.
