Embree’s Brook Falls

A 6-meter waterfall accessible via a 1.7 km easy hike from Port Hawkesbury. The trail crosses a brook on a sturdy bridge and wooden stairs before reaching a viewing deck overlooking a ravine, then continues to the main fall carved into shale. The waterfall flows best after heavy rain or during spring melt; watch for a worn side path on your left near the trail intersection to reach the overlook.
