Where is this located in Malignant Cove?
If you take the highway from Antigonish, the swimming hole is just off the road a bit before the turnoff to go around the Cape. You can’t see the river from the highway. There is room for 2 or 3 cars to park by the road. It is a 30 second walk to the river. There are a couple of paths to walk down the rocks to the water, or you can just jump in! The water is raging in spring, but by summer, it is very gentle. There are rocks just under the waterfall so you can actually sit in the waterfall. You should probably get someone local to show you the way to climb down to the river and to point out the hidden rocks before you go swimming.
Thank you! Much appreciated.
