The Park is about 19 acres and offers a small network of trails for hiking enjoyment
The park used to be a gravel pit and an old race track, however Hyla Park  is now the first Amphibian Park of Canada and has been featured in the pages of the National Geographic Magazine.

Nerepis NB

We seen this small seasonal Watefall in Nerepis NB, this waterfall was easy to spot from the side of the Britian Rd.  Nerepis is a small rural community in Kings County, NB located on the Nerepis River. Nerepis is about an hour drive form Fredericton and roughly 25 minutes from Saint John.  The small community is surrounded by forest and rivers great for fishing, hunting bird watching etc.  We only spend about 40 minutes exploring the area and found many little gems like this small waterfall hiking trails and a breath taken hill side views.

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.
