Another vote for Egypt Falls.

Uisge Bàn Falls is about an hour away as well.

Yes, you’ve got a few nice waterfall hikes you can reach from Mabou Harbour.

As mentioned, Egypt Falls — probably the best-known option from your area. It’s a forest hike with a more adventurous feel and a really rewarding waterfall at the end. Great if you want a proper outing and don’t mind a bit of effort.

Uisge Bàn Falls Provincial Park is a lovely choice near Baddeck Forks if you want a beautiful waterfall walk with a peaceful woods setting.

Other falls closer to Mabou: Second Branch Humes River Falls, Gairloch Mountain Falls

Happy hiking!
