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!

To get to Coac Falls\ you can follow these directions:

1. Take the Nackawic exit on Route 2 between Fredericton and Woodstock.
2. Head towards Nackawic and cross the large bridge over the St. John River.
3. Continue straight until you pass a Robin’s Donuts and Irving Gas Station.
4. You will then descend a large hill to a second, smaller bridge.

After this point, the trail to Coac Falls begins as an old road that is not maintained but still in good shape. If you have a vehicle with good clearance, you can drive for about 574 meters until you find an older crossover road on your left. Park your car without blocking ATV traffic and follow this side road for 336 meters. Then, turn right on another road and continue for another 477 meters to the next junction. Keep right at the junction, and after about 1.3 kilometers, you will come to a long narrow clearing. Just before this clearing on the left, there is a steep ATV trail that leads down to the falls

Please be cautious on the climb down as it’s quite steep with loose gravel. The falls are impressive, tumbling 21 meters (69 feet) down over a series of steps cut out of the angled rock face For a detailed trail guide and map, you can visit the Hiking NB website. Remember to bring proper shoes as the trail can get muddy, and it’s recommended to record your route to avoid getting lost. Enjoy your hike to Coac Falls! 🌲🏞️
