![]() ![]() If you are looking for information on other waterfalls throughout New Brunswick, visit the Hiking NB trail list and search for waterfalls. There are still so many other waterfalls throughout the province that could be on the list. We had a hard time choosing our list of fifteen waterfalls when we wrote this post. The pool is surrounded by a nice gravel beach, which makes it the perfect place to go for a swim.įor more information go to the Wallace Falls Trail page on Hiking NB. The river narrows in to the falls and plunges 7 m (20 ft.) into a large, deep pool. As you walk up through the valley you will start to see the falls. ![]() Once down in the valley you will hear the falls. There are steep stairs there to help you get down into the valley but they are old so be cautious. This side trail descends to the Quiddy River valley below. The trail fell into disrepair as focus was put on the maintenance of the Fundy Footpath but some sections are still in good shape like this one.Īfter a short distance, you will turn left and leave the main trail. At one time this was an extension to the Fundy Footpath that travelled all the way from the Sussex Bluffs to the Fundy Footpath on the coast. When you enter the woods, you will be following what was known as the Catamount Trail. To get there you will have to drive 9 km (6 mi.) on a gravel road but it is worth it. DRY BROOK FALLSĭeep in the woods about 30 km (19 mi.) south of Sussex you will find Wallace Falls (sometimes called Quiddy Falls). You can walk underneath the falls, but be very careful since the rocks are wet and slippery.įor more information go to the Sheephouse Falls Trail page on Hiking NB. The water falls over a rocky ledge that is cut out underneath. The pool is about one metre (three feet) deep so a great place to take a swim. A rocky beach surrounds the large pool below the falls. Just past this lookout is a long, steep staircase that will take you down below the falls. If you don’t cross the stream and continue past the bridge, you will soon come to an unobstructed lookout at the top of Sheephouse Falls. Crossing the bridge will take you to a lookout platform far above the Sheephouse Falls valley. You will first come to a bridge over the smaller Lamb Brook Falls. It is a 17 km (11 mi.) drive on a gravel road, but a short hike into the falls. This is an amazing waterfall in the middle of the woods northwest of Miramichi. My father used to take our family there for picnics. This is one of the first waterfalls I remember as a child growing up in Miramichi. If you continue down through the gorge you will also come to the Eye of the Needle, a place where the stream cuts through a narrow 2 m (6-ft.) wide opening with 61 m (200 ft.) cliffs on either side.įor more information go to Walton Glen Gorge Lookout Trail or Walton Glen Gorge Trail pages on Hiking NB. This is where the trail is the most difficult. If you choose to go down into the gorge, you will pass by another amazing waterfall on the way. This trail goes outside of the park boundary so be careful as the terrain is steep, treacherous, and difficult. ![]() A trail enters the woods at a turnout on the main trail just before the lookout. The second option is to climb down into the gorge to the bottom of the falls. A short, 1 km (0.6 mi.) trail from the end of the Fundy Trail Parkway (P15 parking area) will take you to the lookout. ![]() The first is from the now easy to access lookout on the edge of Walton Glen Gorge. We recommend them both if you have the time and the sense of adventure. There are two options to view this waterfall. Walton Glen Gorge Falls is a 42 m (140 ft.) waterfall that flows off one of the cliff faces and into the gorge. The stream cuts a deep ravine through the forest on its way to Little Salmon River and the Bay of Fundy. Walton Glen Gorge is known as the ‘Grand Canyon of New Brunswick’. ![]()
