There's nothing like hiking or through the snow covered landscapes of Nova Scotia during winter. We put together a list of waterfalls for you to hit on your next outback exploration. Take in the beautiful pictures below, or snow shoe out to some of these incredible spots yourself! A few of these falls are super close to Halifax, while some are a road trip away. Regardless they're all worth seeing in a unique, icy state this time of year!
Note: Please be extremely careful, follow trail safety, and check weather conditions before heading out. Stay on the marked trails and/or designated viewing areas.
