Three closely spaced falls located on the course of an unnamed stream, near its mouth in the West Kempt River. These falls can be reached by taking the Kempt Falls Trail from Kempt Road. It is this road that gave them their name. Kempt Road is well known to the inhabitants of this part of the Gaspé Peninsula, since it was the first route to cross the Gaspé Peninsula, passing through Causapscal. Its name evokes the memory of James Kempt, Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia from 1820 to 1828 and Administrator of Upper Canada from 1828 to 1830; he took this road to travel from the Restigouche to Métis.
