    Very nice waterfall. This is the first in the set of two falls in Victoria Park. Will be visiting again in the spring when there is more water flow. The directions from Google took me down a residential street that could not access the park. I ended up taking Park road and parking in the main parking lot and walking in to the falls, roughly a kilometer. There are a fair number of stairs to get to the falls.

    Located in beautiful Victoria Park, smaller waterfalls nice hike to get to it. Puddle at the bottom of the falls is great for a swim on a hot day.

    This is a beautiful park that has something for everyone. There are multiple trails and vantage points of different difficulties to reach. The paved areas are excellent for families that would like an easy route to the falls. The trails were closed when I arrived due to the recent hurricane. I recommend visiting this location when the trails reopen.

    It is a breathtaking four-tiered waterfall surrounded by lush forests. This tranquil natural wonder offers a blend of history and scenic beauty, making it a must-visit destination where visitors can appreciate the power of nature and the legacy of a significant Canadian figure.

    Beautiful stop along the TransCanada. Had a great walk to stretch the legs and loved the stairs (Jacob's ladder) to get the whole family's heart pumping 🤗👍😁

    Lovely park for a stroll to some very pretty waterfalls. There are stairs involved. Bubbling brook sounds along the way.

    Schöner Wasserfall und auch nicht so weit vom Parkplatz entfernt. Wer mag kann eine kleine Sporteinheit in den Spatziergang integrieren und eine mega Treppe überwinden.

    This is one of several waterfalls in Victoria Park, Truro, Nova Scotia. Excellent hike, wonderful scenery, very friendly people! The waterfalls are all lovely....small but in a gorgeous setting. The chance to hike for some hours, if you wish, is readily available in this great city park!

    Beautiful clean park with wide trails Lots of families out enjoying the evening Looks like they had extensive damage from Hurricane Fiona 2022 that they are slowly repairing so many paths were closed Lovely playground We didn't visit the outdoor po

    This park was stunning, the trails are well maintained and worth visiting. The waterfall was beautuful and our children really enjoyed playing at the playground. There's also a beautiful outdoor pool and splash pad!

    Such a great gem right in the middle of the town. Easy access and walk right up to the falls.

  • 5/5 Colette D. 1 year ago on Google
    The falls themselves was nothing much to see. Just a trickle of water and the the small river that runs through it was very low and not much movement. My first time to Victoria Gardens so not sure if it was just the time of year or not but the the whole trail and walk to get to the falls was magical! Lots of stairs for those who like to get exercize and a trail that is much easier also will take you to the falls. I did not see any maps which would have been helpful.

    Nice little walk through Victoria Park to see the falls (not a lot of water for July 28). Kids played in the splash park afterwards

  • 5/5 Emma C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful spot. I would definitely make the day trip again. Great playground for little ones and lovely trials. Note: there are lots of stairs (Jacob's ladder) so not all trails are young child or stroller friendly but still lots to do!

    It was ok, the main picture for the falls isn't what I experience. Good swimmable pond at the base, 1 kilometer hike in and out (2km total). Signage isn't great if you take the upper trails or want to go on to the next set of falls.
