Camp Carter & Falls

Camp Carter is built on an old farmstead near the town of New Harris, Cape Breton. To get there, it is just a short drive up Big Harbour Road, on the north side of the Seal Island Bridge. There are a few geocaches near the main campground that you may wish to check out, as well as ample parking. From there, the trail-head to the actual falls trail is just a short walk back in the direction you came from. To your right, you'll see a small waterfall, with the larger being across the road and a short jaunt up.

Lower falls, as seen from the opposite side of the road to the trail that leads to the main falls.

There is a rope to help you climb above the main falls.

While I don't wish to plaster my own face all over this blog, I happened to not get any good photographs of the falls that didn't have Russell or myself in them. I've seen a few photographs online that show the falls during times of low water, but we were lucky enough to see it on a powerful day after a few days of rainfall.
