Golden Falls
Just outside Baddeck, a stream runs along the trail to Uisge Ban (pronounced Ish-ke-ban) falls. In the filtered light from the heavy tree canopy, the water appears almost golden.

Uisge Ban Falls (lower)

You are rewarded with a view of the upper falls, which can not be seen from below.
