Carrow Falls


Carrow Falls is a more seasonal fall so highly recommend going either fall, spring or right after a good rain storm.  The entire stream is only about 2 km long. The falls  are approximately 5 meters high and there is a second falls just a few meters down stream.  Carrow Falls is completely covered with a thick cover of moss  many rare plants are found along the brook so please only take photos and leave the plants also stay on the well marked trails so not to step on any rare plants.

Millseat Falls

Approximately 5 km from the junction of the Nortondale Road along route 585 from, Woodstock is Millseat Falls. If you take your time you will be able to see the falls from the road and the walk into the falls is extremely easy you can park right along the road.  Walking distance is no more then 5 minutes heading down to the falls base, there is no path however easy to to walk into. The waterfall is on the West Branch Nackawic Stream. If you are coming from Woodstock the falls are located approximately 100 meters before the bridge over the stream.  














First Falls, Magaguadavic

First Falls, Magaguadavic are located in Saint George, NB the route to the falls in town is well marked and are easy to find.  The source feeding  these falls is the Magaguadavic (meaning "lake of eels" in Mi'kmaq)  Lake which is located  in York County some distance away. A dam and mill were built by St. George Pulp and Paper, at the turn of the century however stopped operations around 1967. Today the old mill is used to generate hydro-electricity.

Hanwell



There are a few smaller falls on the brook.  The brook is opposite of the highway as Garden Creek falls.  ( see the Garden Creek Falls for directions)  This is a nice little hike or just a great place to do a little fishing.  This brook/stream does not run very heavy in the summer best time to go would be spring or late fall.

Corbett Brook Falls




Corbett Brook Falls

To get to the Corbett Brook Falls take Knowledge Park Drive off of Regent Street.  Drive about 2 km to a parking area on the left almost across from the Football field.  Park and go left down the trail.  Go about 325 m to a trail to your left.  You will cross over Corbett Brook just before  the trail.  Take the trail on the  left to the waterfall.  To find the caves, just head downstream from the waterfall   or take the upper trail. The trails are very easy to find and very easy to hike.









Split Rock Falls



A moderate hike but well worth the effort
The Split Rock Falls, are near Kings Landing NB

at Lat 45.85°N Long -66.9667°W



This is a very picturesque hike however certainly not for a beginner hiker as the trail lead over an very steep embankment. I would recommend bringing along some rope and trail markers as one can easily get lost.

                                                 This is a  Bushwhack path I would strongly recommend waterproof hiking shoes. We went mid April and there was still a lot of snow in these woods with numerous deep mud holes.  



  






Further downstream from this locations are two more smaller falls, this is certainly a very spectacular place to visit if you are up for a small challenge.

Coac Falls

To visit the Coac Falls, drive along Route 105 heading south from the junction of Route 605 in Nackawic, passing route 610 to Upper Caverhill until crossing Coac Stream a distance of roughly 7 km. The Lower Caverhill Road is an old logging road . Park along the highway and start hiking up the Lower Caverhill Road.  You will meet a woods road on the left hand side follow this road until you come to  a rope crossing  the road.  Take the right hand side road and follow it  until  you come to an ATV trail on the left. This trail will lead you down into the ravine to the falls you should be able to hear the rumbling falls from here.  The whole hiking trip is roughly 3 km its a moderate hike and good foot wear and bug spray is highly recommended.  I would also mention we went during hunting season and a hunting vest is recommend as this area is well hunted...lol found out the hard way!








Dunbar Falls

Dunbar Falls are in York County and are located on Crown land. The Falls are about 10 feet high and are a Block style falls.  The river system flowing in Dunbar Falls are the Seymour Brook and the Nashwaak River.  The walk/hike into the falls are relatively easy making this a great family day trip, many people come here to enjoy a day of swimming in the summer time the water isn't very deep making it great for the whole family.






The Falls are actually on the Seymour Brook.  The Maliseet name for the brook is Kulloosisik meaning Eagles Nest.

The Dunbar river is named after George Dunbar, George was a loyalist who received a land grant in 1783.
















Hays Falls

This is a very family friendly trail however be alert of the many tree roots covering the grounds, to avoid tripping. Allow at least 45-60 minutes of continuous hiking each way get to Hays Falls.  You will have the choice to view the falls from above or from below   The trail very well maintained and is marked with blue and white trailer makers so not much chance of getting lost.


 However If you didn't turn towards the falls and heading the other direction, the trail will lead you to a tunnel under the Trans Canada Highway.  I do not recommend going further but to turn around and head back onto the trail as this tunnel is the entrance to total wilderness without trail makers and cell phone reception comes and goes.








Mudding

Just a little stuck in the mud! I Thought I had to hook on with the Jeep and help these guys out.  However they had this mud under control!
