Easach Ban is a section of the longer Falls Brook, which flows into the North Branch Baddeck River, and eventually to St. Patricks Channel of the Bras d'Or Lake.

The landscape surrounding Easach Ban is a product or incredibly powerful forces which have shaped and reshaped the area over 5 billion years.

Formation of the earth's landmass, tremendous volcanic activity, collision of continents, mountain-building, massive erosion and glaciation, have all played a role in shaping this landscape.

Rock types of this landscape are similar to those found in the boreal plateau - derived ancient granite, gneiss, and schist.

Dominant tree species include sugar maple, yellow birch, beech, white spruce, and balsam fir.
