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. Rubber boots would have came handy along with a heavier jacket.

UPDATE:

Upham Brook Falls, located in the small town of Woodstock, New Brunswick, is a hidden gem accessible only through private land. To reach this secluded sanctuary, Visitors must ask permission to follow the  path along the edge of a lawn that leads to the falls. The falls, with their silvery waters dancing down rocky precipices, evoke a sense of otherworldly wonder. Upham Brook Falls remains untouched by the outside world, guarded by the whispers of the wilderness—a secret treasure for those who yearn to witness nature in its purest form

Fall Country Drive

Sunday afternoon drive in and around Woodstock NB the fall colors are really starting to show and as pretty as they are we all know what will come next the S... word

I worked on potatoe harvesters potatoes house and fields for many years and I was always amazed at how many potatoes a harvester would leave behind ....just to think so many people go hungry every day.

Waterfalls in motion!

A couple of waterfalls we have visited over the years.  Some older videos and some recent ones.

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.

Fundy National Park (Dickson Falls)

Fundy National Park is located on the Bay of Fundy, not to far from the small fishing village of of Alma, New Brunswick. The Park offers many hiking trails with board-walks waterfalls and many species of wild life.

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.

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.

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.

Kelly Creek Falls

Kelly Creek Falls is not large waterfall and is certainly not in the most spectacular area the falls are nestled just before a large gravel pit.There is a small bridge crossing over the creek at the falls. People however visit these fall frequently as this is a great fishing location.

Sears Road is a short way out the Mazerolle Settlement Road on the the left travelling from the Hanwell and the falls are about 5 km from the intersection.  Its a rough dirt road.

The water fall is just under the bridge and is not real visible from the road.
