Upham Brook Falls

So it was raining all last weekend but I guess it is typical for this time of year, however that did not stop us from checking out a local waterfall.  Last time we visited this waterfall it was barely running however this time you could hear it roaring in a distance.  We spend a bit of time just sitting under a tree that had a few remaining  leaves for shelter and used a plastic bag and my pony tail holder to make a protect cover for my camera.

Phillips creek waterfall (monteith)

Ackers Creek Falls just outside of Woodstock NB heading to Hartland. Drive North towards NewBurg and just past Newburg will be th Ackers Creek Bridge cross the bridge and take the Jennings road.  Follow the road to the end and start walking  there will be a large hill just a little ways into the woods.  Carefully climb down the hill as it is soft footing when at the button turn right you will be able to hear the falls.
