3km return hike. Beautiful, small falls some neat views along the way. River, trees growing atop rocks, birds, etc. Would recommend hiking shoes or sneakers at the very least as the path can be muddy as well as roots protruding from the ground. The base of the falls consist of large, wet rocks.

Egypt Falls were the nicest waterfalls we saw on our trip but the hike to get here was brief but intensive. The incline was steep, so much so that going down to see the falls was just as challenging as coming back up. Once you complete the hike down the main stretch, getting to the falls requires you to climb down an even steeper section with the assistance of ropes tied to trees placed by other hikers. Exact GPS coordinates are 46.196, -61.124. A picture of where the hike begins is attached. There are private property signs all over, so be respectful and don’t wander off the path. Please indicate if you found this review to be helpful as it will help me focus my future efforts. Enjoy your trip!

I only went 1.5 km along the trail because I started out late on a winter's afternoon. It was quiet and beautiful and not too difficult going with a hard packed snow cover.

Park and enjoy a short walk down to the water. Sit on rocky beach area or explore the water and rocks Loved walk around here when the tide was out. Always plays with your mind seeing how much change happens in an hour Would highly recomend a good pair of shoes to explore. Check daily tide schedule

Took us about an hour to get to the falls (with a detour) and 35 - 40 minutes to walk out without stopping. It is an easy hike through the woods on a wide path until you get to the falls and then it is about a 100’ steep hill down to the falls. The trail and hill can be done by just about anyone, although it’s not suitable for a stroller. It’s a gradual incline up on the way in. Take your time in the way down the hill to the falls and it’s fine. You can even drive in most of the way to the falls. We saw a Jeep parked just before the bridge. It would be great for mountain biking. Dogs would have no trouble except for the last 100’ down the hill but most dogs could make it. It’s is unmarked but easy to follow except finding the path down to the falls. We walked right by it. If you get out to power poles and power lines, you’ve gone too far. Just BEFORE the power poles/lines, it is on your left. You’ll see it once you’re looking for it. Also, halfway in, there is a sign that says David Morse Trail. From the map on our hiking app, it looks like that leads to a much narrower trail that was called “Crystal Falls Trail”. We kept right, however, and walked across the bridge, staying on the wider path. Our GPS took us right to the trail head. You’ll probably see the cars parked along Harmony Rd. You can drive in a little ways and park as well. Pictures hardly do the falls justice, especially in the fall colours. Once there, you can also get to the top of the falls either on the left or right side, although right is easier. Be careful as it is a steep cliff.

Had to write a review of this to clear some things up. First, yes, the drive is 6.8 km on a small (real narrow) dirt road. Not good for an RV, and low slung cars might want to think twice too. Yes, the falls are not huge, but their volume depends on water levels in the P{province at the time. We went this time a day after a rain, and there was, as you can see, a torrent coming through. The hike down can be done in TWO places. The steep stairway most go to, because it comes first just after the bridge, is steep and goes to the bottom and you're looking up at the falls, and down into the main pool. The much better viewpoint (but not for swimming from obviously), is to go on the path that keep going straight. That comes down a very gentle slope to a viewing platform that overlooks the falls from about the same level as the top (see photo). It is more distant, but really a better view. The entire walk is less than a half a km - maybe a quarter mile total! You may see moose in the small meadow on the way in and birdlife abounds. A great side trail that is really an easy in to see the Park in a way that is more than just the drive around the Trail.
