Cape Breton Highlands National Park - MacIntosh Brook Campground

Ricardo F

Awesome little trail that easily goes through the woods until you get to the waterfall. You go along Macintosh Brook which may could have another name as there are several Mi'kmaq references at the beginning of the trail. You will find washrooms and a small playground right when you enter. There are some picnic tables and a small parking lot. The trail difficult is quite easy. There could be some trees down in the way that rangers didn't cut yet (you'll see quite a few that were already cut). Brook's sounds are very relaxing while you go through the trail and, the waterfall in the end is beautiful. Not very big but not small too. Great experience especially with kids as the trail is only 1.7km without much altitude variation.

Great place to camp or picnic, hopefully Parks Canada can fix the spelling mistake on the signage. :)

Great place to stop and enjoy a warm fire in the winter time if you are doing the Cabot Trail. Take your snowshoes and enjoy a beautiful walk down the trail

Not much for a campground, but the quick trail to the small natural pond is worth it for a quick cool down. She's chilly!

Well, I guess you could call a grassy area next to a day use parking area a campground. A handful of sites, no privacy. There are washrooms and a warming hut with potable water which makes frontcountry camping easy. Okay for a quick overnight, I guess, when the road is quiet and day users are not swarming about.
