This is a single fall located along the Bay of Fundy. The fall itself is approx 60 feet high. You can view this fall during high tide from approx 200ms away or during low tide. During low tide, you can walk right up to the fall. Depending on when you visit there might be a small pool located at the base of the falls. This pool is outlined by boulders creating a semi-circle. Within the pool, you may see a crab or two and a lot of snails mixed in with the seaweed. If you are blessed, you may see one even two rainbows present at the base of the falls over the pool. During low tide, you can explore all the area that is exposed. It goes for miles, you can view anything from rock outcrops to some caves carved into the rock face.
