Irish Cove Brook Falls

A 6-meter waterfall with multiple plunges located just off Highway 4 between St. Peter's and Sydney. The walk to the base is less than 100 meters but involves navigating a steep, unmaintained ravine—plan for about 10 minutes total. Park at the borrow pit roughly 1 km up the dirt road turnoff (29.5 km east of St. Peter's on Highway 4) and download coordinates before you go, as cell coverage is spotty.
