the trail it getting a helping hand. new bridges are being installed. 2 left to go. so if you go right after rain might get some wet toes. trail is very simple no big elevations. apparently there is a slot canyon above the falls.

Baxter Harbour Falls

Reviewed By JDTravelhome

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

Crystal Falls Hiking Trail

Reviewed By tshep42 - Halifax, Canada

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.
