We Parked on the Trans-Canada just before the highway merges from four lanes to two heading into Lepreau. We made are way up the embankment and through a deer gate heading North West towards an old logging road that would take us most of the way to the falls. Unfortunately
there was still up to three feet of snow on some of the more overgrown sections of the trail.
The last thirty minutes or so was spent bushwhacking towards the river. We managed to come out within sight of the falls. I took a few photos from where we emerged from the woods and the girls decided they had had enough for one day, so we started are way back out. These photos are all HDR tonemapped from 32bit images made from multiple exposures.
We had a good look at the bottom set of falls but I still wanted a better look at the top notch that gives these falls their name.
A few days later I took my nephew Jack and made a second trip in. This time we skipped the logging road and headed straight for the falls bushwhacking using a map and compass. We made good time and came out above the bottom falls.
The "keyhole" was impressive, the entire river is forced through a few small notches that have been cut into the stone by the water.
The view From the top of the the falls gives a better idea of the force involved
