Devils Hill Falls is a waterfall on Devils Hill Brook, flowing off Devils Hill,[1][2] sited approximately 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) south of the Mira River on Cape Breton Island, in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada.
[3] The waterfall is a short distance off of New Boston Road, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the community of Catalone.
The falls are a short hike, about a 230 metres (750 ft), in from New Boston Road to where the trail crosses the brook on a small bridge.
Local tradition explains the name Devil's Hill, and the Devil's Hill Road that runs along the side of the hill, were named so because a gentleman met the Devil on his way home from Mira Ferry, or possibly New Boston, one night after a dance in the late 19th century.
There is a small traditional geocache at the falls, located so it is accessible year round, which has been in place since February 2005.
